What is CVE-2016-6813?

Apache CloudStack versions 4.1 through 4.9.0.0 contain a vulnerability within the API that allows non-root users to register for developer API keys. If a malicious actor can discover the ID of a non-root user, they can exploit this weakness to reset that user's API keys. This unauthorized access enables the attacker to gain control over the user's account and their associated resources, posing significant security risks to the integrity and confidentiality of user data and system operations.
