Summary
Missing authorization and sensitive information exposure in Apache CloudStack's userdata-related APIs. Several APIs, including deleteUserData, linkUserDataToTemplate, resetUserDataForVirtualMachine, deployVirtualMachine, and updateVirtualMachine, have missing or insufficient access control validation, potentially allowing cross-tenant/cross-account access to userdata resources. Affects versions from 4.18.0.0 through 4.20.3.0 and from 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0. The deleteCniConfiguration API, introduced in 4.21.0.0, also exhibits similar behavior.
Risk Assessment
A user may gain unauthorized access to other tenants' userdata, potentially leading to confidentiality and integrity breaches.
Recommendation
Upgrade to version 4.20.3.1 or 4.22.1.1 or later, which fixes the issue.
Other vulnerabilities in Apache CloudStack
See all- CVE-2026-25077High
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.
- CVE-2025-66467High
Missing MinIO policy cleanup on bucket deletion via Apache CloudStack allows users to retain access to buckets which they previously owned. If another user creates a new bucket with the same name, the previous owners can gain unauthorized read and write access to it.
- CVE-2026-62440Critical
Improper Access Control vulnerability in Apache CloudStack's Kubernetes Service (CKS) plugin, allowing cross-tenant manipulation of the Kubernetes cluster while adding and removing nodes. Affects versions from 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0.
- CVE-2026-61398Critical
Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output vulnerability in Apache CloudStack's UI while using Instance Reset Password functionality. Affects versions from 4.15.1.0 through 4.20.3.0 and from 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0.
- CVE-2026-59085Critical
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Apache CloudStack's webhook module, exploitable via webhook delivery requests. Affects versions from 4.20.0.0 through 4.20.3.0 and from 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0.
- CVE-2026-25199Critical
The Proxmox extension for Apache CloudStack allows unauthorized access to instances belonging to other tenants. The issue arises from improper use of an instance setting, enabling attackers to modify and gain control over virtual machines of other users.
- CVE-2015-3252Critical
Apache CloudStack before version 4.5.2 does not properly preserve VNC passwords when migrating KVM virtual machines, allowing remote attackers to gain access by connecting to the VNC server.
- CVE-2026-59654High
Apache CloudStack versions 4.7.0 through 4.20.3.0 and 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0 have a missing release of resource after effective lifetime vulnerability in the scoped global configuration functionality. This may lead to denial of service (DoS) for the management server.
- CVE-2026-68745High
Certificate validation failures in SAML authentication in Apache CloudStack 4.20.3.0 and 4.22.1.0 allow a malicious agent to forge a SAML response to the management server. The agent must spoof the IdP IP address or register a URL of its own choosing, 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.
- CVE-2026-66797Medium
Improper access control in CloudStack's annotation functionality allows unauthorized comment creation and disclosure. The addAnnotation and listAnnotation APIs perform an ownership check but fail to honor its result correctly, allowing any authenticated user to write and read annotations on entities they don't own. Affects versions from 4.15.0.0 through 4.20.3.0 and from 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0.
Original NVD description (English source)
Missing Authorization, Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in Apache CloudStack's Userdata reference APIs. Several userdata-related APIs in Apache CloudStack, including deleteUserData, linkUserDataToTemplate, resetUserDataForVirtualMachine, deployVirtualMachine, and updateVirtualMachine, exhibit missing or insufficient access control validation, potentially allowing cross-tenant/cross-account access to userdata resources that belong to other tenants. This issue affects Apache CloudStack: from 4.18.0.0 through 4.20.3.0 and from 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0. The deleteCniConfiguration API, introduced in 4.21.0.0, also exhibits similar behaviour and lacks access validation. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.20.3.1 or 4.22.1.1 or later, which fixes the issue.
