crun is an open source OCI Container Runtime fully written in C. In versions 1.19 through 1.26, the crun exec option -u (--user) is incorrectly parsed. The value 1 is interpreted as UID 0 and GID 0 when it should have been UID 1 and GID 0. The process thus runs with higher privileges than expected. Version 1.27 patches the issue.
CVE-2026-30892
This high-severity CVE scores 7.8 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.2%, top 94% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
