- CWE-250 - Execution with unnecessary privileges
Summary
[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.
* CVE-2026-23562: Configuration of PCI passthrough is normally
restricted to the pool-admin role. However one API was missing this
check, allowing a vm-admin access to unintended host hardware.
* CVE-2026-42486: A vm-admin can set the VM.platform:hvm_serial
parameter, which should be restricted to the pool-admin role, as it
can allow arbitrary dom0 file write.

Summary
[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.
* CVE-2026-23562: Configuration of PCI passthrough is normally

check, allowing a vm-admin access to unintended host hardware.
* CVE-2026-42486: A vm-admin can set the VM.platform:hvm_serial
parameter, which should be restricted to the pool-admin role, as it
can allow arbitrary dom0 file write.

- CWE-250 - Execution with unnecessary privileges
Summary
[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.
* CVE-2026-23562: Configuration of PCI passthrough is normally
restricted to the pool-admin role. However one API was missing this
check, allowing a vm-admin access to unintended host hardware.
* CVE-2026-42486: A vm-admin can set the VM.platform:hvm_serial
parameter, which should be restricted to the pool-admin role, as it
can allow arbitrary dom0 file write.

- CWE-250 - Execution with unnecessary privileges
Summary
[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.
* CVE-2026-23562: Configuration of PCI passthrough is normally
restricted to the pool-admin role. However one API was missing this
check, allowing a vm-admin access to unintended host hardware.
* CVE-2026-42486: A vm-admin can set the VM.platform:hvm_serial
parameter, which should be restricted to the pool-admin role, as it
can allow arbitrary dom0 file write.

Summary
[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

CWE
- CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Summary
There are multiple issues.
1. Updates to the XAPI database sanitise input strings, but try
generating the notification using the unsanitised input. This
causes the database's event thread to terminate and cease further
processing.
2. XAPI's UTF-8 encoder implements v3.0 of the Unicode spec, but XAPI
uses libraries which conform to the stricter v3.1 of the Unicode
spec. This causes some strings to be accepted as valid UTF-8 by
XAPI, but rejected by other libraries in use. Notably, such strings
can be entered into the database, after which the database can no
longer be loaded.
3. There is no input sanitisation for Map/Set updates on objects in the
XAPI database.
