When migrating an instance to a target project, LXD accepts configuration overrides without validating the new configuration against the target project's enforced restrictions. An attacker can exploit this flaw to move instances with disallowed high-privilege configurations into restricted projects, bypassing security controls.","published":"2026-08-12T20:17:47.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-24T16:10:00.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"security@ubuntu.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":9.9,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-863"],"affected":["canonical/lxd"],"epss":{"score":0.00444,"percentile":0.38407,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.44%).
