smb-volume-release: Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command
CVE-2026-41013 is a high-severity improper neutralization of argument delimiters in a command vulnerability in smb-volume-release from CloudFoundry Foundation, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 3.60.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating smb-volume-release to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update smb-volume-release to 3.60.0 or a later version.
- Update CF Deployment to 56.0.0 or a later version.
Affected products and versions

Official description
Input validation bypass in SMB volume mount handling in CloudFoundry Foundation diego-release allows low-privileged CF space developer to inject arbitrary kernel CIFS mount options via bypassing the mount-option allowlist, enabling privilege escalation and security control bypass on multi-tenant Diego cells. Affected versions: smb-volume-release: All versions prior to v3.60.0 CF Deployment: All versions prior to v56.0.0

The underlying weakness: Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command
The product constructs a string for a command to be executed by a separate component in another control sphere, but it does not properly delimit the intended arguments, options, or switches within that command string.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Understand all the potential areas where untrusted inputs can enter your product: parameters or arguments, cookies, anything read from the network, environment variables, request headers as well as content, URL components, e-mail, files, databases, and any external systems that provide data to the application. Perform input validation at well-defined interfaces.
- Directly convert your input type into the expected data type, such as using a conversion function that translates a string into a number. After converting to the expected data type, ensure that the input's values fall within the expected range of allowable values and that multi-field consistencies are maintained.
- When exchanging data between components, ensure that both components are using the same character encoding. Ensure that the proper encoding is applied at each interface. Explicitly set the encoding you are using whenever the protocol allows you to do so.
