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.
In Canonical LXD versions 4.12 through 6.9, a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the image import functionality allows authenticated users with the cancreateimages entitlement to interact with internal network infrastructure via the /images endpoint. When importing an image from a URL source, the LXD daemon fails to validate or restrict outbound destination IP addresses, allowing connections to loopback, RFC1918 private ranges, and cloud metadata endpoints. This enables error-based port scanning and unauthorized interaction with internal HTTP services from the daemon's network position.
Nil-pointer dereference in CreateCustomVolumeFromBackup in LXD up to version 6.8 and 5.21 on Linux allows an authenticated user with cancreatestoragevolumes permissions to cause a denial of service via a specially crafted custom-volume backup tarball that omits the expiresat snapshot field.
Path traversal in Canonical LXD LXD-UI versions before 6.5 and 5.21.4 on all platforms allows remote authenticated attackers to access or modify unintended resources via crafted resource names embedded in URL paths.
