Summary

OS Command Injection vulnerability in Apache CloudStack's NAS backup provider plugin. The addBackupRepository API (available since 4.20.0.0) and updateBackupRepository API (introduced in 4.22.0.0) accept unsanitized command options for the backup repository. A malicious operator account can exploit this to inject arbitrary commands that execute on the KVM hypervisor host when any account subsequently performs a backup restore. Affects versions from 4.20.0.0 through 4.20.3.0 and from 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0.

Risk Assessment

A malicious operator can execute arbitrary commands on the KVM host, potentially leading to full system compromise and affecting other tenants.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 4.20.3.1 or 4.22.1.1 or later, which fixes the issue.
