CVE-2026-48756

LOWPre-NVD 2.12.1—
EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence

This low-severity CVE scores 2.1 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.2%, top 86% 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).

Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.1.0, (*backend).CreateCustomVolumeFromBackup in internal/server/storage/backend.go contains an unguarded *time.Time dereference on the ExpiresAt field of every volume-snapshot entry in an imported custom-volume backup. An authenticated user with can_create_storage_volumes permission on any project can crash the incusd daemon by uploading a backup tarball whose volume_snapshots[*].expires_at field is absent. This is a sibling-field variant of GHSA-r7w7-mmxr-47r9 (CVE-2026-40197). Commit 985a1dedf9f3e7ba729c93b654905ed510de25c2 added if s == nil at the top of the loop body, but did not guard the adjacent *snapshot.ExpiresAt deref 19 lines later. Every other consumer of Config.VolumeSnapshots[i].ExpiresAt in this same file already gates the deref with a nil-check — the asymmetric guard is the bug. Version 7.1.0 contains an updated patch.
