Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for podman.

CVE-2026-57231[0]:
| Podman is a tool for managing OCI containers and pods. From 1.8.1
| until 5.8.4, a container image that contains a environment variable
| with just a key and no value can trick podman into passing that
| variable from the host into the container. This is made worse by the
| fact that using an asterisk (*) will cause podman to pass all host
| variables into the container. So essentially a malicious image can
| exfiltrate all podman environment variables that are set in the
| session from where the container is launched. This vulnerability is
| fixed in 5.8.4 and 6.0.0.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
