Summary
Docker Sandboxes from 0.21.0 before 0.47.0 fail open when masking credentials in protected proxy responses. When a response-body read returns data together with an error, affected handlers forward unmasked bytes (CWE-636). Code inside an authorized sandbox with low privileges can recover host-managed OAuth access and refresh tokens or a derived Anthropic API key meant to stay outside the sandbox.

Description from the CNA
Docker Sandboxes could fail open while masking credentials in protected proxy responses. When a response-body read returned data together with an error, affected handlers could forward unmasked bytes. Code inside an authorized sandbox could use this to recover host-managed OAuth access and refresh tokens or a derived Anthropic API key intended to remain outside the sandbox.
