CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedPrior to version 7.3.0, Incus allowed user-supplied configuration overrides during instance migrations without enforcing project restrictions, enabling restricted project users to escalate privileges to a privileged container and potentially escape to the host system. This critical vulnerability poses a significant risk to the security of containerized environments. Organizations using affected versions of Incus should prioritize upgrading to version 7.3.0 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.3.0, when migrating an instance to another cluster member, user-supplied configuration overrides (including security-critical keys like `security.privileged` and `raw.lxc`) are applied without any project restriction enforcement, allowing a restricted project user to escalate to a privileged container and escape to the host. Version 7.3.0 patches the issue.
