Critical · 9.9 CVE-2026-62867 EUVD-2026-63987

Incus has an argument injection in storage volume block.create_options that leads to arbitrary command execution

Published Aug 21, 2026 · Updated Aug 21, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.3.0, improper validation of user-provided `block.create_options` in storage volume configuration leads to argument injection in the constructed filesystem creation command line. This allows a project-scoped user to inject arbitrary arguments into the binary executed as root. Version 7.3.0 patches the issue.
