CVE-2024-38346Network attack vector

Remote code execution via unauthenticated cluster commands

Published Jul 5, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

Command injection in Apache CloudStack 4.0.0 through 4.18.2.0 and 4.19.0.0 through 4.19.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute code. Apache identifies injection in cluster-service commands but has not disclosed the affected handlers or the unsafe input-to-shell operation. Network reachability to port 9090 is required; exploitation runs through agents that can hold privileged host access, enabling compromise of managed infrastructure.
