Cross-tenant action requires a valid tenant account (PR:L) and crosses a security boundary (S:C); removing nodes degrades a victim cluster, so A:H rather than the vendor's A:N.

DescriptionCVE.org

Improper Access Control vulnerability in Apache CloudStack's Kubernetes Service (CKS) plugin, allowing cross-tenant manipulation of the Kubernetes cluster while adding and removing nodes.

This issue affects Apache CloudStack: from 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.22.1.1 or later, which fixes the issue.

AnalysisAI

Cross-tenant manipulation in Apache CloudStack's Kubernetes Service (CKS) plugin allows a tenant to add and remove nodes on Kubernetes clusters belonging to other tenants, affecting versions 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0. The improper access control breaks tenant isolation in a multi-tenant IaaS platform, enabling unauthorized integrity and confidentiality impact against neighboring tenants' clusters. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a CloudStack deployment running the Kubernetes Service (CKS) plugin in a multi-tenant configuration, and the attacker must be able to issue CKS node add/remove operations - realistically meaning they hold a valid tenant/account on the target CloudStack instance (the 'cross-tenant' framing implies at least tenant-level access even though the vendor vector states PR:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals conflict and warrant judgment rather than blind reliance on the 9.1 score. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade Apache CloudStack to version 4.22.1.1 or later, which fixes the access-control flaw, per the Apache advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/g6cwddtjrwbh1d56wjz4cfp3fzfm4kbc. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all Apache CloudStack deployments, determine if versions 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0 are running, and check whether Kubernetes Service plugin is enabled in production; disable the plugin if operationally feasible and not critical to business operations. …
