CVE-2024-29006

Apache CloudStack: x-forwarded-for HTTP header parsed by default

Published Apr 4, 2024 CVSS 3.1 · 9.8 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
By default the CloudStack management server honours the x-forwarded-for HTTP header and logs it as the source IP of an API request. This could lead to authentication bypass and other operational problems should an attacker decide to spoof their IP address this way. Users are recommended to upgrade to CloudStack version 4.18.1.1 or 4.19.0.1, which fixes this issue.
