CVE-2026-115371: Incus improper authorization in storage bucket key access

CVE-2026-115371 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.1 · Published 2026-10-22

Incus is a container and virtual machine management platform. A flaw in access controls allows restricted users to obtain S3 storage credentials from the default project, enabling them to read, modify, or delete objects in cloud storage buckets without proper authorization. This affects versions 6.0.3 through 6.0.7, 6.6.0 through 7.0.2, and 7.1.0 through 7.5.0.

How to fix

Fixed in: Incus 6.0.7, 7.0.2, 7.5.0

Do not keep buckets in the default project on servers that issue restricted client certificates, or rotate the keys of any bucket a restricted client may have accessed.

Technical details

An improper authorization vulnerability in the TLS authorizer allows restricted client certificates to access storage bucket key endpoints that should require elevated permissions. The GET /1.0/storage-pools/{pool}/buckets/{bucket}/keys and related endpoints return S3 access and secret keys when queried by restricted clients with can_view permissions on default project buckets. Attackers can exploit this by querying these endpoints to obtain credentials and then directly interact with the S3 backend. The vulnerability does not affect OpenFGA-based deployments.

Affected products

LXC Incus 6.0.3 before 6.0.7, 6.6.0 before 7.0.2, 7.1.0 before 7.5.0
