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

Published Apr 4, 2024 · Updated Mar 27, 2025 · Assigned by apache

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.
