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.
Analysis
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.
Technical ContextAI
Cross-Site Request Forgery forces authenticated users to perform unintended actions by tricking their browser into sending forged requests. This vulnerability is classified as Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) (CWE-352).
RemediationAI
Implement anti-CSRF tokens for all state-changing operations. Use SameSite cookie attribute. Verify the Origin/Referer header on the server side.
