Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-63300 exists.\n\nAffected product: Canonical LXD. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-63300/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-63300/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-63300","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-63300/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-63300","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-63300","GHSA-5g5r-wh97-qcq2","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-63300"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"LXD container manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can bypass project restrictions by moving instances, enabling host command execution in restricted LXD environments.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"lxd","vendor":"canonical"}],"cvss":{"score":9.9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"An improper validation vulnerability in the instancePostMigration function in lxd/instance_post.go of LXD allows an authenticated attacker with can_create_instances permissions on a restricted project to bypass project-level security restrictions. When migrating an instance between projects, LXD fails to validate the instance's configuration against the target project's enforced restrictions (such as restricted.containers.lowlevel, restricted.devices.*, and restricted.networks.access). An attacker can exploit this by creating a disallowed or high-privilege instance in an unrestricted project and subsequently moving it into the restricted project.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Cross-project instance move bypasses all project restrictions allowing host command execution","id":"CVE-2026-63300","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Denial of Service in Quick.CMS","id":"CVE-2026-63301"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Storage volume cross-project move and snapshot restore bypass project disk limits","id":"CVE-2026-63299"},"products":["LXD"],"published":"2026-08-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Instance template path traversal allows arbitrary host file write as root","id":"CVE-2026-66897","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-24"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Cross-project cluster migration bypasses project restrictions via cluster notification flag","id":"CVE-2026-62420","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-12"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Arbitrary File Read/Write: metadata.yaml symlink in image allows host filesystem access as root","id":"CVE-2026-63293","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-12"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Root RCE via image backup.yaml symlink","id":"CVE-2026-63294","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-12"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Project restriction bypass via instance migration config override","id":"CVE-2026-63296","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-12"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Cross-project instance copy bypasses target project restrictions via TOCTOU in config merge","id":"CVE-2026-63297","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-12"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-13","vendors":["Canonical"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can bypass project restrictions by moving instances, enabling host command execution in restricted LXD environments.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-63300/"}
