Summary

Incus from 6.0.5 before 6.0.7, from 6.12.0 before 7.0.2, and from 7.1.0 before 7.5.0 contains an incorrect authorization flaw (CWE-863) that lets restricted project users use pull mode migration through clustered refresh requests. An attacker with instance creation rights can send a refresh migration request for an existing instance, making the server open outbound TLS websocket connections that probe reachable services. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network access with low privileges required.
