NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream incus package and not the incus package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.3.0, when copying an instance across projects, the project restriction check (AllowInstanceCreation) runs BEFORE the source instance's configuration is merged into the request. Dangerous configuration keys (including security.privileged, raw.lxc, raw.apparmor) from the source instance are merged AFTER the check passes, bypassing all project restrictions on the target project. Version 7.3.0 patches the issue.
