CVE-2026-48751 PUBLISHED

Incus has a restricted project bypass leading to arbitrary command execution

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 22.05.2026 Published: 21.08.2026 Updated: 21.08.2026

Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.2.0, instance snapshots ignore the restricted.containers.lowlevel=block setting; allowing for arbitrary command execution on the Incus server by abusing lowlevel hooks such as raw.lxc and raw.qemu. Version 7.2.0 patches the issue.
