What is CVE-2026-125672?

A vulnerability exists in cockpit-storaged where a malformed Tang keyserver address can be injected into curl's argument vector due to improper formatting. This flaw means that if a crafted LUKS/clevis block device is attached, an attacker can manipulate the arguments passed to curl when a user attempts to edit the Tang keyserver settings. Consequently, an administrator using Cockpit may unintentionally trigger option injection, potentially leading to unauthorized file access or modification within the Cockpit session.
