CVE-2025-54286 Details
Description
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in LXD-UI in Canonical LXD versions >= 5.0 on Linux allows an attacker to create and start container instances without user consent via crafted HTML form submissions exploiting client certificate authentication.
A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability has been identified in the LXD-UI component of Canonical LXD, affecting versions 5.0 and later. This vulnerability allows an attacker to create and start container instances without the user's consent by exploiting client certificate authentication. The issue arises because the SameSite cookie attribute, which prevents CSRF attacks, does not apply to client certificates. As a result, LXD's API can be manipulated through crafted HTML form submissions, bypassing standard cross-origin protections.
Users can update to LXD versions 6.5, 5.21.4, or 5.0.5, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
