Description
Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.2.0, missing authorization checks exist for instance copying where an attacker knowing the name of a project that they don't have access to and the name of an instance in that project can copy the instance to a new project. This issue could allow an attacker to access secrets in instances they are not authorized to access. Version 7.2.0 patches the issue.

Antes de la versión 7.2.0, faltan comprobaciones de autorización para la copia de instancias, donde un atacante, conociendo el nombre de un proyecto al que no tiene acceso y el nombre de una instancia en ese proyecto, puede copiar la instancia a un nuevo proyecto. Este problema podría permitir a un atacante acceder a secretos en instancias a las que no está autorizado a acceder. La versión 7.2.0 corrige el problema."
