Proxmox Security Advisories + NVD
Proxmox posts security advisories on its forum (no machine-readable feed) and its CVEs are assigned by MITRE / researchers rather than a Proxmox CNA — so VulniPulse ingests them from NVD (keyword-filtered to Proxmox, dropped unless a Proxmox product is named). Covers Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE), Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) and Proxmox Mail Gateway (PMG) — the homelab and SMB virtualization stack, complementing VMware/Omnissa coverage.
Latest Proxmox advisories
High [CVE-2026-51082] race condition between the vncproxy and vncwebsocket API calls in Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) 9.x pve-manager before 9.1.9 and 8.x before 8.4.19; qemu-server 9.x before 9.1.7 and 8.x before 8.4.7; and pve-container before 6.1.3 (PVE 9.x) and before 5.3.4 (PVE 8.x) allows an attacker with privileges to call "vncproxy" to hijack a VNC session that is established in parallel by a different user for a different VM
A race condition between the vncproxy and vncwebsocket API calls in Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) 9.x pve-manager before 9.1.9 and 8.x before 8.4.19; qemu-server 9.x before 9.1.7 and 8.x before 8.4.7; and pve-container before 6.1.3 (PVE 9.x) and before 5.3.4 (PVE 8.x) allows an attacker with privileges to call "vncproxy" to hijack a VNC session that is established in parallel by a different user for a different VM.
Medium [CVE-2026-51083] Incorrect access control in Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) 9.x qemu-server before 9.1.8 and 8.x before 8.4.8 allows users within limited privileges to obtain hashed passwords via the cloudinit/dump API
Incorrect access control in Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) 9.x qemu-server before 9.1.8 and 8.x before 8.4.8 allows users within limited privileges to obtain hashed passwords via the cloudinit/dump API.
Medium [CVE-2026-51081] cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) 9.x 5.1.8 and Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) 8.x 4.3.16 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via injecting a crafted payload
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) 9.x 5.1.8 and Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) 8.x 4.3.16 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via injecting a crafted payload.
Critical [CVE-2026-25199] Instances deployed via the Proxmox extension allow unauthorized access to instances belonging to other tenants
Instances deployed via the Proxmox extension allow unauthorized access to instances belonging to other tenants. This issue affects Apache CloudStack: from 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.0.0. The Proxmox extension for CloudStack improperly uses a user-editable instance setting, proxmox_vmid, to associate CloudStack instances with Proxmox virtual machines. Because this value is not restricted or validated against tenant ownership and Proxmox VM IDs are predictable, a non-privileged attacker can modify the setting to reference a VM belonging to another account. This allows unauthorized cross-tenant access and enables full control over the targeted VM, including starting, stopping, and destroying the virtual machine. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.22.0.1, which fixes this issue. As a workaround for the existing installations, editing of the proxmox_vmid instance detail by users can be prevented by adding this detail name to the global configuration parameter - user.vm.denied.details.
High [CVE-2026-25499] Proxmox Virtual Environment: Terraform / OpenTofu Provider adds support for Proxmox Virtual Environment.
Terraform / OpenTofu Provider adds support for Proxmox Virtual Environment. Prior to version 0.93.1, in the SSH configuration documentation, the sudoer line suggested is insecure and can result in escaping the folder using../, allowing any files on the system to be edited. This issue has been patched in version 0.93.1.

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the WebAuthn Relying Party field within the Datacenter configuration of Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) 8.4. Authenticated users can inject JavaScript code that is later executed in the browsers of users who view the configuration page, enabling client-side attacks.

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the HTTP Proxy field within the Datacenter configuration panel of Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) 8.4 allows an authenticated user to inject malicious input. The input is stored and executed in the context of other users' browsers when they view the affected configuration page. This can lead to arbitrary JavaScript execution.

A security issue was discovered in the Kubernetes Image Builder versions <= v0.1.37 where default credentials are enabled during the image build process. Virtual machine images built using the Proxmox provider do not disable these default credentials, and nodes using the resulting images may be accessible via these default credentials. The credentials can be used to gain root access. Kubernetes clusters are only affected if their nodes use VM images created via the Image Builder project with its Proxmox provider.
High [CVE-2024-21545] Proxmox Virtual Environment: Proxmox Virtual Environment is an open-source server management platform for enterprise virtualization.
Proxmox Virtual Environment is an open-source server management platform for enterprise virtualization. Insufficient safeguards against malicious API response values allow authenticated attackers with 'Sys.Audit' or 'VM.Monitor' privileges to download arbitrary host files via the API. When handling the result from a request handler before returning it to the user, the handle_api2_request function will check for the ‘download’ or ‘data’->’download’ objects inside the request handler call response object. If present, handle_api2_request will read a local file defined by this object and return it to the user. Two endpoints were identified which can control the object returned by a request handler sufficiently that the ’download’ object is defined and user controlled. This results in arbitrary file read. The privileges of this file read can result in full compromise of the system by various impacts such as disclosing sensitive files allowing for privileged session forgery.
Critical [CVE-2022-31358] reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Proxmox Virtual Environment prior to v7.2-3
A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Proxmox Virtual Environment prior to v7.2-3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via non-existent endpoints under path /api2/html/.
Critical [CVE-2022-35508] Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) and Proxmox Mail Gateway (PMG) are vulnerable to SSRF
Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) and Proxmox Mail Gateway (PMG) are vulnerable to SSRF when proxying HTTP requests between pve(pmg)proxy and pve(pmg)daemon. An attacker with an unprivileged account can craft an HTTP request to achieve SSRF and file disclosure of any files on the server. Also, in Proxmox Mail Gateway, privilege escalation to the root@pam account is possible if the backup feature has ever been used, because backup files such as pmg-backup_YYYY_MM_DD_*.tgz have 0644 permissions and contain an authkey value. This is fixed in pve-http-server 4.1-3.
High [CVE-2022-35507] response-header CRLF injection vulnerability in the Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) and Proxmox Mail Gateway (PMG) web…
A response-header CRLF injection vulnerability in the Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) and Proxmox Mail Gateway (PMG) web interface allows a remote attacker to set cookies for a victim's browser that are longer than the server expects, causing a client-side DoS. This affects Chromium-based browsers because they allow injection of response headers with %0d. This is fixed in pve-http-server 4.1-3.
