CVE-2024-29006

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

State: Published
Severity: 9.8 Critical
Published: Apr 4, 2024
Updated: Mar 27, 2025
Reserved: Mar 13, 2024

Description

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.
