Type:
CWE-200
Information Leak / Disclosure

Description
Instances deployed via the Proxmox extension allow unauthorized access to instances belonging to other tenants.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This issue affects Apache CloudStack: from 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.0.0.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Proxmox extension for CloudStack improperly uses a user-editable instance setting, proxmox_vmid, to associate CloudStack instances with Proxmox virtual machines. Because this value is not restricted or validated against tenant ownership and Proxmox VM IDs are predictable, a non-privileged attacker can modify the setting to reference a VM belonging to another account. This allows unauthorized cross-tenant access and enables full control over the targeted VM, including starting, stopping, and destroying the virtual machine.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.22.0.1, which fixes this issue.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As a workaround for the existing installations, editing of the proxmox_vmid instance detail by users can be prevented by adding this detail name to the global configuration parameter - user.vm.denied.details.
