Security
- This release addresses CVE-2026-33414, where the
podman machine init --imagecommand when run on Windows using the Hyper-V backend can run Powershell-escaped commands from the user-specified image path on in a Powershell session on the host (GHSA-hc8w-h2mf-hp59).
Bugfixes
- Fixed a bug where containers with the
unless-stoppedrestart policy would not restart after a reboot whenpodman-restart.servicewas enabled (#28152). - Fixed a bug where setting
Entrypoint=""in a Quadlet.containerfile did not clear the container's entrypoint (#28213). - Fixed a bug where setting a
HealthCmdin a Quadlet.containerfile to a command that included double-quotes (") would result in a nonfunctional healthcheck due to a parsing issue (#28409). - Fixed a bug where FreeBSD systems could panic when inspecting containers created with the
hostnetwork mode (#28289).
API
- Fixed a bug where the Libpod System Check endpoint could perform operations with bad data after returning a 400 error (#28350).
- Fixed a bug where the remote attach API for containers (Libpod & Compat) could panic due to a rare race condition (#28277).
- Fixed a bug where the Secret Create API could not create functional secrets using the
shelldriver due to options from the default driver being improperly added.
