Apache: >> Cloudstack >> 4.11.1 Security Vulnerabilities
Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in Apache CloudStack's scoped global configuration functionality. It affects different modules and plugins of the CloudStack management server, including Quota, Host-HA, etc., and may lead to eventual denial of service (DoS) scenario for the management server.
This issue affects Apache CloudStack: from 4.7.0 through 4.20.3.0 and from 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.20.3.1 or 4.22.1.1 or later, which fixes the issue.

Certificate validation failures in SAML authentication in Apache CloudStack 4.20.3.0 and 4.22.1.0 on all platforms allow a malicious agent to forge a SAML response to the management server. The agent will have to spoof the ip address of the IdP or get an url of its own choosing registered in the management server, after which it can allow logging on with forged signatures.
Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.20.3.1 or 4.22.1.1 and above, which fix this issue.

Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in Apache CloudStack's LDAP authentication plugin while listing LDAP providers.
LDAP configurations can be listed by any authenticated user with access to the listLdapConfigurations API. By default, this API is available to all default roles.
This issue affects Apache CloudStack: from 4.2.0.0 through 4.20.3.0 and from 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.20.3.1 or 4.22.1.1 or later, which fixes the issue.

Account users are allowed by default to register templates to be downloaded directly to the primary storage for deploying instances using the KVM hypervisor. Due to missing file name sanitization, an attacker can register malicious templates to execute arbitrary code on the KVM hosts. This can result in the compromise of resource integrity and confidentiality, data loss, denial of service, and availability of the KVM-based infrastructure managed by CloudStack.
Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache CloudStack versions 4.20.3.0 or 4.22.0.1, or later, which fixes this issue.

Due to multiple time-of-check time-of-use race conditions in the resource count check and increment logic, as well as missing validations, users of the platform are able to exceed the allocation limits configured for their accounts/domains. This can be used by an attacker to degrade the infrastructure's resources and lead to denial of service conditions.
Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache CloudStack versions 4.20.3.0 or 4.22.0.1, or later, which fixes this issue.

In Apache CloudStack, a gap in access control checks affected the APIs - createNetworkACL
- listNetworkACLs
- listResourceDetails
- listVirtualMachinesUsageHistory
- listVolumesUsageHistory
While these APIs were accessible only to authorized users, insufficient permission validation meant that users could occasionally access information beyond their intended scope.
Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache CloudStack 4.20.2.0 or 4.22.0.0, which fixes the issue.

In Apache CloudStack, a flaw in access control affects the listTemplates and listIsos APIs. A malicious Domain Admin or Resource Admin can exploit this issue by intentionally specifying the 'domainid' parameter along with the 'filter=self' or 'filter=selfexecutable' values. This allows the attacker to gain unauthorized visibility into templates and ISOs under the ROOT domain.
A malicious admin can enumerate and extract metadata of templates and ISOs that belong to unrelated domains, violating isolation boundaries and potentially exposing sensitive or internal configuration details.
This vulnerability has been fixed by ensuring the domain resolution strictly adheres to the caller's scope rather than defaulting to the ROOT domain.
Affected users are recommended to upgrade to Apache CloudStack 4.19.3.0 or 4.20.1.0.

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Apache CloudStack versions 4.10.0.0 through 4.20.0.0 where a malicious Domain Admin user in the ROOT domain can reset the password of user-accounts of Admin role type. This operation is not appropriately restricted and allows the attacker to assume control over higher-privileged user-accounts. A malicious Domain Admin attacker can impersonate an Admin user-account and gain access to sensitive APIs and resources that could result in the compromise of resource integrity and confidentiality, data loss, denial of service, and availability of infrastructure managed by CloudStack.
Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache CloudStack 4.19.3.0 or 4.20.1.0, which fixes the issue with the following:
* Strict validation on Role Type hierarchy: the caller's user-account role must be equal to or higher than the target user-account's role.
* API privilege comparison: the caller must possess all privileges of the user they are operating on.
* Two new domain-level settings (restricted to the default Admin):
- role.types.allowed.for.operations.on.accounts.of.same.role.type: Defines which role types are allowed to act on users of the same role type. Default: "Admin, DomainAdmin, ResourceAdmin".
- allow.operations.on.users.in.same.account: Allows/disallows user operations within the same account. Default: true.

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Apache CloudStack versions 4.10.0.0 through 4.20.0.0 where a malicious Domain Admin user in the ROOT domain can get the API key and secret key of user-accounts of Admin role type in the same domain. This operation is not appropriately restricted and allows the attacker to assume control over higher-privileged user-accounts. A malicious Domain Admin attacker can impersonate an Admin user-account and gain access to sensitive APIs and resources that could result in the compromise of resource integrity and confidentiality, data loss, denial of service, and availability of infrastructure managed by CloudStack.
