CVE-2026-66898 (GCVE-0-2026-66898)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-12 20:07 – Updated: 2026-08-13 13:40

Title

Path traversal via unvalidated instance name in backup tarball restore enables root file write / RCE

Summary

A path traversal vulnerability in LXD allows an attacker to manipulate file system paths during backup import and restore operations. When importing or restoring a backup archive, LXD fails to validate instance and storage volume names contained within the archive metadata. An attacker can exploit this flaw by supplying a crafted backup archive with malicious instance or volume names containing path traversal sequences, potentially allowing file access or overwriting outside the designated restore directory.
