### Impact LXD's operations API includes secret values necessary for WebSocket connections when retrieving information about running operations. These secret values are used for authentication of WebSocket connections for terminal and console sessions. Therefore, attackers with only read permissions can use secret values obtained from the operations API to hijack terminal or console sessions opened by other users. Through this hijacking, attackers can execute arbitrary commands inside instances with the victim's privileges. ### Reproduction Steps 1. Log in to LXD-UI using an account with read-only permissions 2. Open browser DevTools and execute the following JavaScript code Note that this JavaScript code uses the /1.0/events API to capture execution events for terminal startup, establishes a websocket connection with that secret, and sends touch /tmp/xxx to the data channel. ```js (async () => { class LXDEventsSession { constructor(callback) { this.wsBase = `wss://${window.locati...

### Impact In LXD's images export API (`/1.0/images/{fingerprint}/export`), implementation differences in error handling allow determining project existence without authentication. Specifically, in the following code, errors when multiple images match are directly returned to users as API responses: https://github.com/canonical/lxd/blob/43d5189564d27f6161b430ed258c8b56603c2759/lxd/db/images.go#L239-L246 While fingerprints generally don't duplicate, this functionality uses fingerprints with LIKE clauses, allowing prefix specification. Therefore, using LIKE wildcards such as % will match multiple images if multiple images exist in the project. https://github.com/canonical/lxd/blob/43d5189564d27f6161b430ed258c8b56603c2759/lxd/db/images.go#L277-L286 In the above implementation, multiple matches result in a 500 error, but if the project itself doesn't exist, there are 0 matches and a 404 is returned. 1. When project exists and multiple images match: HTTP 500 error "More than one image...

### Impact Although outside the scope of this penetration test, a path traversal vulnerability exists in the validLogFileName function that validates log file names in lxd/instance_logs.go in the LXD 5.0 LTS series. This vulnerability was fixed in PR #15022 in February 2025, and is fixed in at least LXD 5.21 and later. However, this PR appears to be primarily aimed at code improvement rather than vulnerability fixing, with the vulnerability being fixed as a side effect. Therefore, no CVE number has been issued, and no security patch has been made for LXD 5.0 and earlier. However, since LXD 5.0 LTS is still in its support period and installation procedures are explained in official documentation, we judge that environments affected by this vulnerability likely exist and report it. Implementation in vulnerable versions (LXD 5.0 LTS series): https://github.com/canonical/lxd/blob/1f8c9f77782784900960bb3b8577c1491db59277/lxd/instance_logs.go#L152-L163 This function allows filenames st...

### Impact The LXD /1.0/images endpoint is implemented as an AllowUntrusted API that requires no authentication, making it accessible to users without accounts. This API allows determining project existence through differences in HTTP status codes when accessed with the project parameter. https://github.com/canonical/lxd/blob/43d5189564d27f6161b430ed258c8b56603c2759/lxd/images.go#L63-L69 This configuration allows access without authentication: https://github.com/canonical/lxd/blob/43d5189564d27f6161b430ed258c8b56603c2759/lxd/daemon.go#L924-L926 This API returns a 404 error when accessing existing projects and a 403 error when accessing non-existent projects, allowing confirmation of project existence through this difference. The problematic implementation is shown below. First, in the error handling implementation of the imagesGet function below, project existence is checked within the `projectutils.ImageProject` function, and the err returned by the `ImageProject` function is d...
