Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.3.0, project-level enforcement of restricted.containers.privilege=isolated can be trivially bypassed, allowing a user to create a non-isolated (shared host idmap) container in a project that is configured to forbid them. The restriction only rejects an explicitly set security.idmap.isolated=false (or empty) and fails to enforce anything when the key is omitted entirely. Because an unset security.idmap.isolated defaults to false (non-isolation), a user simply leaves the key out and obtains exactly the container state the restriction is meant to forbid. This defeats the tenant-isolation guarantee the restriction exists to provide. Containers in the project share the host uid/gid map instead of receiving unique, non-overlapping ranges, weakening the isolation boundary between co-tenant containers and the host. Version 7.3.0 patches the issue.
CVE-2026-62313
This medium-severity CVE scores 4.3 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.2%, top 89% 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).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
