Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The @nx/docker package is vulnerable in versions from 21.4.0 up to 22.7.8 and from 23.0.0 up to 23.1.1. An attacker who can supply a crafted Docker repository or registry name in Nx configuration, such as through a pull request that changes it, can get that value run as a shell command during nx release version or nx release publish, with the release job's privileges. Upgrade to 22.7.8 for the 22.x line or 23.1.1 for the 23.x line; the source says the fix needs no configuration change, and notes that --dry-run does not prevent the injected command from running.
