Doc Text:	A confidential data leak vulnerability was found in Docker CLI. The execution of `docker login` to a private registry may send provided credentials in a misconfigured docker credentials store to the registry-1.docker.io rather than the specified private registry. This flaw allows an attacker to steal private registry credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.	Story Points:	---

Description Michael Kaplan 2021-11-15 18:16:17 UTC

A bug was found in the Docker CLI where running `docker login my-private-registry.example.com` with a misconfigured configuration file (typically `~/.docker/config.json`) listing a `credsStore` or `credHelpers` that could not be executed would result in any provided credentials being sent to `registry-1.docker.io` rather than the intended private registry. This bug has been fixed in Docker CLI 20.10.9. Users should update to this version as soon as possible. For users unable to update ensure that any configured credsStore or credHelpers entries in the configuration file reference an installed credential helper that is executable and on the PATH.
