    I skimmed most of the article, glad to see it’s been patched.

    It looks like the attack vector requires access to a VM on the host machine i.e. public cloud/VPS.

    So maybe not a huge risk exclusively for self hosted configurations?

      Mostly no, unless you expose your VM to the Internet or run untrusted code.

        Anybody who does docker compose pull for any service?
