Proxmox CVE

Incomplete validation of sync encryption/decryption key access

PSA-2026-00055-1 PBS

Affected packages

proxmox-backup-server

Details

An attacker with Datastore.Modify or Datastore.Read on a datastore + namespace can configure sync jobs with arbitrary owners. The sync job's owner was used to validate whether a configured encryption/decryption key is allowed to be used by a sync job. This allowed leveraging high-level access on a datastore to use arbitrary configured encryption keys, instead of limiting access based on the configuring user/token.

This issue was found internally, and independently by Project Loupe.

Fixed in

  • proxmox-backup-server >= 4.2.8-1
