The Podman developers report:

This release addresses (CVE-2026-94603), where a "podman run" on a checkpoint image (any image with the io.podman.annotations.checkpoint.runtime.name annotation) could disable all sandboxing, including sandboxing specified by the user, when the container was created.

Removed support for checkpoint images in podman run due to serious security concerns with the different security models of running images and running checkpoints. Checkpoints ignore user-specified security configuration and are very difficult to run safely.
