Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Docker CLI (github.com/docker/cli) versions before 20.10.9 are affected. When a configuration file lists a credential store or helper that cannot be executed, running docker login for a private registry sends the provided credentials to registry-1.docker.io instead of the intended registry. Upgrade to Docker CLI 20.10.9 or later, or make sure every configured credential helper is installed, executable, and on the PATH.
