  - Incus 7.0.0 before 7.0.2 and 7.1.0 before 7.5.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows
    clients able to create instances to write files on the host. The flaw stems from unvalidated dependent
    custom volume names in instance backup index.yaml files. Attackers can import a crafted instance backup
    with ../ sequences in dependent volume names to create root-owned directories with controlled content,
    leading to full host compromise. (CVE-2026-115375)
