The XZ-Utils backdoor, discovered in March 2024, remains present in at least 35 Linux images on Docker Hub, posing risks to users and organizations. Despite being reported, Debian has chosen not to remove the compromised images, citing low risk, which has raised concerns among researchers about the potential for accidental use in automated builds. Users are advised to ensure they are using updated versions of the affected library to mitigate risks.
