      "value": "A path traversal vulnerability in LXD allows an attacker to manipulate file system paths during backup import and restore operations. When importing or restoring a backup archive, LXD fails to validate instance and storage volume names contained within the archive metadata. An attacker can exploit this flaw by supplying a crafted backup archive with malicious instance or volume names containing path traversal sequences, potentially allowing file access or overwriting outside the designated restore directory."

    {
      "lang": "es",
      "value": "Una vulnerabilidad de salto de ruta en LXD permite a un atacante manipular rutas del sistema de archivos durante las operaciones de importación y restauración de copias de seguridad. Al importar o restaurar un archivo de copia de seguridad, LXD no valida los nombres de instancias y volúmenes de almacenamiento contenidos dentro de los metadatos del archivo. Un atacante puede explotar esta falla al proporcionar un archivo de copia de seguridad manipulado con nombres de instancias o volúmenes maliciosos que contengan secuencias de salto de ruta, lo que podría permitir el acceso o la sobrescritura de archivos fuera del directorio de restauración designado."
