CVE-2026-63295
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
An authorization bypass vulnerability in LXD allows an authenticated attacker to bypass project-level container isolation restrictions. When a project is configured with restrictions on container privileges (such as enforcing restricted.containers.privilege=isolated), LXD fails to enforce the requirement if an instance configuration omits the security.idmap.isolated key. An attacker can exploit this flaw by creating or updating an instance without explicitly setting security.idmap.isolated, bypassing the target project's security constraints.

"value": "Una vulnerabilidad de omisión de autorización en LXD permite a un atacante autenticado omitir las restricciones de aislamiento de contenedores a nivel de proyecto. Cuyo un proyecto está configurado con restricciones en los privilegios de los contenedores (como la aplicación de ’restricted.containers.privilege=isolated’), LXD no aplica el requisito si una configuración de instancia omite la clave ’security.idmap.isolated’. Un atacante puede explotar esta falla creyo o actualizyo una instancia sin establecer explícitamente ’security.idmap.isolated’, omitiendo las restricciones de seguridad del proyecto objetivo."
