Network-exploitable with low complexity; PR:L because authentication is required; scope changes as the management server probes internal resources; only limited confidentiality impact from probing, no integrity or availability impact.

Authenticated pre-validation SSRF vulnerability in Apache CloudStack's template and ISO registration functionality.
When registering a template or ISO, CloudStack makes a live HTTP HEAD/GET call to determine file size for secondary storage usage-limit checks, and this happens before URL validation is performed. However, this does not pose a malicious template or ISO registration risk, as URL validation still occurs prior to the actual download by the Secondary Storage VM.This issue affects Apache CloudStack: in 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.
AnalysisAI
Pre-validation SSRF in Apache CloudStack's template and ISO registration allows authenticated users to trigger HTTP HEAD/GET requests to arbitrary URLs - including internal network resources - before URL validation is applied. Affected versions are 4.20.3.0 and 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0; vendor-released patches exist in 4.20.3.1 and 4.22.1.1. …
