AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability is a privilege escalation issue in Apache CloudStack versions 4.10.0.0 through 4.20.0.0. A malicious Domain Admin user in the ROOT domain can obtain the API key and secret key of Admin role user-accounts within the same domain. Because the operation is not properly restricted, the attacker can impersonate Admin users and gain access to sensitive APIs and resources, potentially compromising resource integrity, confidentiality, causing data loss, denial of service, and affecting the availability of infrastructure managed by CloudStack.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
If exploited, this vulnerability allows a malicious Domain Admin to assume control over higher-privileged Admin user accounts. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive APIs and resources, resulting in compromise of resource integrity and confidentiality, data loss, denial of service, and disruption of the availability of infrastructure managed by Apache CloudStack.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Users are recommended to upgrade Apache CloudStack to version 4.19.3.0 or 4.20.1.0, which include fixes such as strict validation on Role Type hierarchy, API privilege comparison, and new domain-level settings to restrict operations on accounts of the same role type. These steps will prevent malicious Domain Admin users from escalating privileges by accessing API keys and secret keys of Admin role users in the same domain.
