CVE-2026-24740 — Dozzle Incorrect Authorization in Agent Shell Endpoints

Dozzle is a realtime log viewer for docker containers. Prior to version 9.0.3, a flaw in Dozzle’s agent-backed shell endpoints allows a user restricted by label filters (for example, `label=env=dev`) to obtain an interactive root shell in out‑of‑scope containers (for example, `env=prod`) on the same agent host by directly targeting their container IDs. Version 9.0.3 contains a patch for the issue.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.4% (30-day exploitation probability)+5
  • Technical severity (critical)+10
  • CISA SSVC: exploitation "poc"+5
  • Automatable exploitation (SSVC)+3

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Amir20 Dozzle, Amirraminfar Dozzle).
  2. Apply the fixed version or the patch documented under Remediation.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (access control), errors and authentication anomalies.

Analysis and videos

CVE-2026-24740: Dozzle Incorrect Authorization in Agent Shell Endpoints
Dozzle versions before 9.0.3 contain an incorrect authorization flaw in agent-backed shell endpoints. A user restricted by label filters may reach an interactive root shell in containers outside their scope on the same agent host. Upgrading to version 9.0.3, which contains the patch, is the primary remedy.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-24740 is "Dozzle Incorrect Authorization in Agent Shell Endpoints", rated Critical. It affects Dozzle (Amir20); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 9.9 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.43% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
