Vulnerability reported (CVE-2026-23562). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
[This CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.]
XAPI can configure different users with different roles, using Role
Based Access Control. For more details, see:
https://docs.xenserver.com/en-us/xencenter/current-release/rbac-overview.html#rbac-roles
The pool-admin role is fully privileged. Notably, users with this role
can also SSH into the host as root.
The other administrator roles are pool-operator, vm-power-admin and
vm-admin, each of which are authorised to configure and manage various
aspects of the system.
Some settings are inadequately restricted, and can be set by a lower
privilege of administrator than expected.

CVE-2026-23559: A vm-admin can set VBD.other_config:backend-local and
turn arbitrary files in dom0 into VDIs (virtual disks) and give said
disks to a VM they control. This is an arbitrary read and/or modify
of files in dom0. -
CVE-2026-23560: A vm-admin can set VM.other-config:is_system_domain
and mark a VM as a system domain. System domains are ignored and
left running during certain other host/pool operations, and may be
hidden from view in tooling. -
CVE-2026-23561: A vm-admin can set VM.other_config:storage_driver_domain
and mark a VM as the storage domain for a particular host storage
connection (PBD). Shutting down the VM can cause the PBD to be
erroneously marked as unplugged when it is not. -
