CVE-2024-29006: Apache CloudStack: x-forwarded-for HTTP header parsed by default

First published: Thu Apr 04 2024(Updated: )

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.
