Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection') in the Orchestrator component of SoftIron HyperCloud allows an authenticated user with access to the management plane to execute arbitrary operating system commands on hypervisor hosts as the privileged orchestration user. Attacker-controlled virtual machine template content (for example, the VM DESCRIPTION field) is delivered to hosts through a shell here-document whose terminator is not quoted, so shell expansion and here-document terminator injection are performed on that content during virtual machine lifecycle operations such as deploy, migrate, and network setup. Exploitation requires valid credentials, access to the management plane (owning a virtual machine alone is not sufficient), and a lifecycle operation that reaches the affected host. This issue affects the Orchestrator component of SoftIron HyperCloud from 1.0 through 2.6.17 and is fixed in 2.6.18.

SoftIron HyperCloud 2.5.0 through 2.6.3 may incorrectly add user SSH keys to the administrator-level authorized keys under certain conditions, allowing unauthorized privilege escalation to admin via SSH. Affects non-production debug and internal development builds created between versions 2.5.0 and 2.6.3.  No generally available (GA) or customer-released production builds were affected.  There is no evidence that this issue was exposed in customer environments or production deployments.

An issue exists in SoftIron HyperCloud where authenticated, but non-admin users can create data pools, which could potentially impact the performance and availability of the backend software-defined storage subsystem.

This issue only impacts SoftIron HyperCloud and related software products (such as VM Squared) software versions 2.3.0 to before 2.5.0.

An issue exists in SoftIron HyperCloud where compute nodes may come online immediately without following the correct initialization process.  In this instance, workloads may be scheduled on these nodes and deploy to a failed or erroneous state, which impacts the availability of these workloads that may be deployed during this time window.

This issue impacts HyperCloud versions from 2.0.0 to before 2.0.3.

An issue exists in SoftIron HyperCloud where drive caddy removal and reinsertion without a reboot may erroneously cause the system to recognize the caddy as new media and wipe all data on the drives due to a missing synchronization flaw, which impacts data availability and integrity.

This issue only impacts SoftIron HyperCloud "density" storage nodes running HyperCloud software versions 1.0 to before 2.0.3.

An Improper Privilege Management vulnerability exists in HyperCloud that will impact the ability for a user to authenticate against the management plane.

An authenticated admin-level user may be able to delete the "admin" or "serveradmin" users, which prevents authentication from subsequently succeeding.

This issue affects HyperCloud versions 1.0 to any release before 2.1.
