Summary

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.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated user could access confidential comments or add false annotations, potentially leading to data confidentiality and integrity breaches.

Recommendation

Upgrade Apache CloudStack to version 4.20.3.1 or 4.22.1.1 or later, which includes the access control fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

Improper access control in CloudStack's annotation functionality allows unauthorized comment creation and disclosure. The addAnnotation and listAnnotation APIs perform an ownership check when an entity's UUID is specified, but fail to honor its result correctly. This lets any authenticated user write annotations to, and disclose existing annotations/comments on, an entity they don't own by simply supplying its UUID. This issue affects Apache CloudStack: from 4.15.0.0 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.
