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 can_create_images 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.

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in LXD from 6.0 before 6.9, 5.21.0 before 5.21.5, and 5.0.0 before 5.0.7 regarding the handling of project-restriction policies during snapshot restoration.. An authenticated project operator in a restricted multi-tenant environment can bypass policy restrictions by importing a maliciously crafted instance backup containing restricted configuration keys within a snapshot. When the snapshot is restored, these restricted keys are applied to the live instance without policy validation. Starting the modified instance grants the operator unauthorized host root access.

Nil-pointer dereference in CreateCustomVolumeFromBackup in LXD up to version 6.8 and 5.21 on Linux allows an authenticated user with can_create_storage_volumes permissions to cause a denial of service via a specially crafted custom-volume backup tarball that omits the expires_at snapshot field.

Broken Access Control in the devLXDInstancePatchHandler component of Canonical LXD allows an untrusted guest to mount, read, and overwrite another guest's custom storage volume via a crafted device PATCH request over /dev/lxd when security.devlxd.management.volumes is enabled.
