Prior to 2.1.3, on an instance of Lima running with the qemu driver, an arbitrary user in the VM could access /run/lima-guestagent.sock when the guest agent is enabled, which could result in running arbitrary commands with root privileges in the VM because the guest agent socket provides tunneling for arbitrary addresses, including Unix socket addresses for privileged daemons like D-Bus. This issue is fixed in version 2.1.3.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.2},"cwes":["CWE-276","CWE-668"],"references":["https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/commit/8a45892378d22f40505c31a38f786a07701b6d50","https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/commit/b08cae8a670cf916d5da11c48a6de76dabd89678","https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/releases/tag/v2.1.3","https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/security/advisories/GHSA-2j9v-p4xj-cjw2"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-25T17:50:06.907763985+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-53657","score":0.00197,"percentile":0.0927,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-2j9v-p4xj-cjw2","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-2j9v-p4xj-cjw2","summary":"Lima: An arbitrary user in a QEMU VM could gain the root privilege in the VM via the guest agent socket","modified":"2026-08-18T15:10:49.812420050Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/lima-vm/lima/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/lima-vm/lima/v2","ranges":["<2.1.3"],"fixed":["2.1.3"]}]},{"id":"GO-2026-6230","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2026-6230","summary":"Lima: An arbitrary user in a QEMU VM could gain the root privilege in the VM via the guest agent socket in github.com/lima-vm/lima","modified":"2026-08-18T15:00:24.505807196Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/lima-vm/lima","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/lima-vm/lima","ranges":["all versions"],"fixed":[]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/lima-vm/lima/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/lima-vm/lima/v2","ranges":["<2.1.3"],"fixed":["2.1.3"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
