CVE-2025-22829Network attack vector

Authenticated cross-account quota email manipulation via API authorization

Published Jun 10, 2025 · Updated Jun 11, 2025

Improper privilege management in Apache CloudStack 4.20.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to alter quota email settings for any account. The quotaListEmailConfiguration and quotaConfigureEmail APIs accept a target account ID without restricting it to the caller's account. Exploitation requires the Quota plugin to be enabled and the caller's role to permit the affected APIs; consequences are configuration disclosure and quota-email preference changes.
