In dstack versions prior to 0.5.4, a malicious host can supply a crafted LUKS2 data volume to a dstack confidential VM for use as the /data mount. Because the guest trusts unauthenticated LUKS2 metadata, an attacker can manipulate the LUKS2 header to use null or attacker-controlled encryption parameters while still allowing the guest to successfully open the volume via cryptsetup. As a result, secret material written by the guest to the mounted volume, including WireGuard keys and other sensitive data, may be stored in plaintext or under a key known to the attacker. The attacker may also pre-populate the device with arbitrary content before it is mounted, potentially influencing guest execution. The issue stems from accepting untrusted, unauthenticated LUKS2 metadata from host-controlled storage in a confidential-computing deployment.
