CVE-2026-55622: Incus has a project restriction bypass in instance copy across projects

August 28, 2026

Missing authorization checks exist for instance copying where an attacker knowing the name of a project that they don’t have access to and the name of an instance in that project can copy the instance to a new project. This issue could allow an attacker to access secrets in instances they are not authorized to access.
