## Overview
This repository contains a proof-of-concept (PoC) for **CVE-2025-9074**, a misconfiguration vulnerability involving the Docker Remote API.
When the Docker daemon was exposed without authentication, an attacker could issue API requests to create and start containers.
This PoC demonstrates the issue in a safe and controlled environment.
**Note:** This vulnerability has been patched.

This repository adapts that work into a Python PoC for easier testing in lab environments.
---
## How it Works
- The script interacts with the Docker Remote API over HTTP.
- It creates a new container with a specified command.
- The container is then started via the API.
The vulnerability existed if the Docker daemon was listening on `tcp://0.0.0.0:2375` without TLS or authentication.
---
## Usage
### 1. Run Docker with the API exposed (lab only)
```bash
dockerd -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2375
