Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session on an affected Apache CloudStack instance (4.20.0.0-4.20.3.0 or 4.21.0.0-4.22.1.0) with access to the Webhook module's delivery listing or deletion endpoints. The critical limiting factor is that CloudStack deployments with a single user or where all users share equivalent trust levels present minimal incremental risk - the vulnerability's impact materializes specifically in multi-tenant or multi-user environments where delivery records from different accounts should be isolated. There is no indication of exploitation without prior authentication, and no evidence that the Webhook module is exposed to unauthenticated paths.

Impact

No CVSS vector was provided by the reporter, making score-based risk comparison impossible; metrics below are independently assessed. The information disclosure is bounded by the need for authenticated access to CloudStack's management plane - unauthenticated exploitation is not indicated by the description. Real-world risk is elevated in multi-tenant or shared-service provider CloudStack deployments where user isolation is a security boundary, as leaked webhook delivery data could expose another tenant's endpoint credentials or event payloads, enabling lateral movement or credential theft. In single-tenant or tightly access-controlled environments, practical risk is lower. No EPSS data is available, no CISA KEV listing exists, and no public proof-of-concept has been identified - suggesting this is not currently being exploited at scale. The combination of authenticated-access requirement and information-only impact (no code execution) places this in the moderate real-world priority tier despite potential sensitivity of exposed data.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated CloudStack user with access to the Webhook module invokes the delivery listing API endpoint and receives delivery records scoped to other users or administrative contexts that their authorization level should not permit. The exposed records may include webhook endpoint URLs with embedded authentication tokens or payload content revealing internal event data, which the attacker can use to access external systems or map infrastructure. No public exploit code exists at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 21, 2026

Sensitive information exposure in Apache CloudStack's Webhook module allows unauthorized actors to view data they should not have access to during webhook delivery listing and deletion operations. Affected deployments span versions 4.20.0.0 through 4.20.3.0 and 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0, covering two active release trains. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; vendor-released patches are available.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Apache CloudStack 4.20.3.1 (for users on the 4.20.x train) or 4.22.1.1 (for users on the 4.21.x/4.22.x train), or any later release. The advisory is published at https://lists.apache.org/thread/g6cwddtjrwbh1d56wjz4cfp3fzfm4kbc. If immediate upgrade is not operationally feasible, restrict access to the Webhook module within CloudStack's RBAC controls to only the minimum set of accounts that legitimately need to list or delete webhook deliveries - this reduces the population of users who could access improperly scoped delivery records. Note that RBAC restriction is a compensating control, not a fix; it does not eliminate the underlying access-boundary defect and should be treated as temporary.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Apache CloudStack is an open-source Infrastructure-as-a-Service platform for provisioning and managing cloud compute resources. The Webhook module provides event-driven HTTP callback notifications to external endpoints when CloudStack events occur. CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) indicates the root cause is an access control or data-filtering deficiency in the code paths handling webhook delivery enumeration and deletion - likely failing to scope delivery records to the requesting actor's authorization boundary. In a multi-tenant cloud environment, webhook delivery records can contain sensitive payloads: endpoint URLs, authorization headers, API secrets, and event data. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:apache_software_foundation:apache_cloudstack:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* across the stated version ranges.
