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
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in Cloud Foundry smb-volume-release (prior to v3.60.0) and CF Deployment (prior to v56.0.0) lets a low-privileged CF space developer smuggle arbitrary CIFS mount options past the mount-option allowlist, gaining kernel-level mount control on shared Diego cells. The flaw maps to CWE-88 (argument injection) and carries CVSS 8.1 with low-privilege network exploitation; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
Cloud Foundry's Diego runtime delegates SMB/CIFS volume mounts to a broker that builds kernel mount commands from user-supplied parameters. The smb-volume-release component enforces an allowlist of mount options to keep tenants from passing dangerous kernel CIFS flags (e.g., uid/gid/file_mode, credentials path). Per the Cloud Foundry advisory titled 'Tenant-controlled comma smuggles arbitrary CIFS mount options,' the parser splits and validates options but does not normalize embedded commas, allowing a tenant value to smuggle additional comma-separated options through the allowlist. This is the canonical CWE-88 'Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters' pattern, where the boundary between data and argument is not preserved end-to-end across the broker, garden-runc, and the kernel CIFS client on multi-tenant Diego cells (CPE: cloudfoundry_foundation:smb-volume-release and cloudfoundry_foundation:cf_deployment).
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor-released patches: upgrade smb-volume-release to v3.60.0 or later and CF Deployment to v56.0.0 or later, per the Cloud Foundry advisory at https://www.cloudfoundry.org/blog/cve-2026-41013-tenant-controlled-comma-smuggles-arbitrary-cifs-mount-options/. Where immediate upgrade is not possible, operators can disable SMB volume services on affected Diego cells (removing the smb-volume broker from the marketplace) to eliminate the attack surface entirely, at the cost of breaking workloads that legitimately bind SMB shares; alternatively, restrict who can create or bind SMB volume service instances by tightening space-developer assignments and using org/space quotas to limit which spaces can request SMB binds, accepting that this reduces self-service but preserves SMB functionality for trusted spaces. Audit existing SMB service bindings for suspicious mount-option values (especially strings containing embedded commas, uid=, gid=, file_mode=, dir_mode=, or credentials=) before patching to detect prior abuse.
