Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for btrbk.

CVE-2026-62943[0]:
| btrbk is a tool for creating snapshots and remote backups of Btrfs
| subvolumes. From 0.29.0 until 0.32.7, btrbk's ssh_filter_btrbk.sh
| constructs allow_stream_match with a start anchor but without an
| end-of-string anchor for the complete command. A user restricted
| through an authorized_keys forced command can append a trailing pipe
| command after a valid btrbk command prefix, bypassing the allowlist
| and executing arbitrary commands with the privileges of the backup-
| target SSH account. Deployments that do not use ssh_filter_btrbk.sh
| in authorized_keys are not affected. This issue is fixed in version
| 0.32.7.
