Improper authorization in the API endpoint GET /1.0/certificates in Canonical LXD 6.6 on Linux allows an authenticated, restricted user to enumerate all certificate fingerprints trusted by the lxd server.

GHSA-crmg-9m86-636r — lxd's non-recursive certificate listing bypasses per-object authorization and leaks all fingerprints

Affected: Go: github.com/canonical/lxd

## Summary The `GET /1.0/certificates` endpoint (non-recursive mode) returns URLs containing fingerprints for all certificates in the trust store, bypassing the per-object `can_view` authorization check that is correctly applied in the recursive path. Any authenticated identity — including restricted, non-admin users — can enumerate all certificate fingerprints, exposing the full set of trusted identities in the LXD deployment.

## Affected Component - `lxd/certificates.go` — `certificatesGet` (lines 185–192) — Non-recursive code path returns unfiltered certificate list.

## CWE - **CWE-862**: Missing Authorization

## Description

### Core vulnerability: missing permission filter in non-recursive listing path

The `certificatesGet` handler obtains a permission checker at line 143 and correctly applies it when building the recursive response (lines 163-176). However, the non-recursive code path at lines 185-192 creates a fresh loop over the unfiltered `baseCerts` slice, completely bypassing the authorization check:

```go // lxd/certificates.go:139-193 func certificatesGet(d *Daemon, r *http.Request) response.Response { recursion := util.IsRecursionRequest(r) s := d.State()

userHasPermission, err := s.Authorizer.GetPermissionChecker(r.Context(), auth.EntitlementCanView, entity.TypeCertificate) // ...

for _, baseCert := range baseCerts { if !userHasPermission(entity.CertificateURL(baseCert.Fingerprint)) { continue // Correctly filter…
