Apache CloudStack: Domain Admin kann Admin-Passwort im Root-Domain zurücksetzen

This vulnerability allows a malicious Domain Admin to escalate their privileges within the CloudStack environment. By resetting the passwords of Admin role user accounts, the attacker can effectively impersonate these users and gain access to sensitive APIs and resources. This could lead to a wide range of damaging consequences, including unauthorized access to data, modification of system configurations, denial of service, and ultimately, a complete compromise of the CloudStack infrastructure. The potential for data loss and disruption is significant, particularly in multi-tenant environments where multiple users rely on the CloudStack platform.

Organizations heavily reliant on Apache CloudStack for their cloud infrastructure are at risk. Specifically, deployments with a large number of Domain Admin users or those lacking robust access control policies are particularly vulnerable. Shared hosting environments utilizing CloudStack should also be assessed, as compromised Domain Admin accounts could impact multiple tenants.

• apache: Check CloudStack logs for unusual password reset activity, especially from the ROOT domain. Look for patterns indicating unauthorized access attempts.

journalctl -u cloudstack-management -g 'password reset'

• apache: Audit user accounts and permissions within the ROOT domain to ensure least privilege is enforced.

# Example: Check user roles and permissions (CloudStack CLI or API)
# This requires familiarity with CloudStack's access control system.

• generic web: Monitor CloudStack API endpoints for unauthorized access attempts, particularly those related to user management.

curl -I https://<cloudstack_host>/api/cloudstack/user/resetPassword

The primary mitigation for CVE-2025-47713 is to upgrade Apache CloudStack to version 4.20.1.0 or later, which contains the fix. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, consider implementing stricter access controls and multi-factor authentication for Admin accounts to limit the impact of a potential compromise. Regularly review user permissions and audit logs to detect any suspicious activity. While not a direct fix, restricting network access to the CloudStack management interface can also reduce the attack surface.
