CVE-2026-48750
Published:August 21, 2026
Updated:September 24, 2026
Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.2.0, the "record-output" parameter of the "/instances/$name/exec" endpoint stores the output of the command in the "exec-output" directory of the instance. If "exec-output" is a symlink, file named "exec_UUID.stdout" and "exec_UUID.stderr" can be written to an arbitrary location where the ".stdout" file will contain arbitrary content. This behavior can be abused for arbitrary command execution. Version 7.2.0 contains a patch.
