Description
Incus before 6.0.7, 6.1.0 before 7.0.2, and 7.1.0 before 7.5.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in GET /1.0/operations/{uuid} that lets project-restricted clients read operations in other projects. Attackers holding a restricted certificate and a known operation UUID can retrieve command lines, environment secrets, websocket secrets, and trust enrolment tokens.

Impact

Incus before versions 6.0.7, 6.1.0 before 7.0.2, and 7.1.0 before 7.5.0 has a missing authorization check on the GET /1.0/operations/{uuid} endpoint, allowing clients that hold a restricted certificate and know an operation UUID to read data from other projects. An attacker can retrieve command lines, environment secrets, websocket secrets, and trust enrolment tokens that may contain highly confidential information.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Incus from LinuxContainers, with the vulnerability present in any release prior to 6.0.7, 7.0.2, or 7.5.0 respectively. Users running those earlier branches are susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7 indicates high severity, and although an EPSS score is not available, the absence of an EPSS entry does not imply low risk. The vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers require an existing restricted certificate and knowledge of a valid operation UUID, which may be discovered through enumeration or other agency. The lack of an authorization guard means that once those prerequisites are met, exploitation is straightforward and can yield non-privileged but highly sensitive data across project boundaries.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Incus to version 6.0.7 or newer in the 6.x branch, 6.1.0 or newer in the 7.x branch, or 7.5.0 or newer overall to apply the official authorization fix.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict the use of restricted certificates to the correct project and audit certificate usage to ensure no overlap between projects.
  • Deploy network segmentation or firewall rules to block or rate‑limit GET /1.0/operations requests from untrusted clients as a temporary containment measure.
