Description
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.

AI Analysis

Impact

Apache CloudStack’s LDAP authentication plugin allows any authenticated user with access to the listLdapConfigurations API to view LDAP provider configurations. The disclosed information includes sensitive configuration details such as server addresses, bind credentials, and user mappings. This exposure compromises the confidentiality of configuration data.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Apache CloudStack versions from 4.2.0.0 through 4.20.3.0 and from 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0. Users running any of these releases are potentially impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score for this vulnerability is 7.5, indicating a high severity. The EPSS score of < 1% suggests a low probability of exploitation at this time, and it is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The attack requires only authentication with any role that has access to the listLdapConfigurations API, which by default is granted to all default roles. Therefore the likelihood of exploitation remains high in environments where default roles are not tightly controlled. Mitigation through an update to 4.20.3.1 or 4.22.1.1, or later releases, removes the flaw by restricting configuration disclosure.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to Apache CloudStack 4.20.3.1, 4.22.1.1, or later to eliminate the disclosure issue.
  • Restrict the listLdapConfigurations API permission to only privileged roles such as administrator and remove default role access.
  • Verify that your CloudStack environment does not expose default roles with this API permission; consider applying network firewall rules to limit API access to trusted management hosts.
