What is CVE-2025-47713?

A privilege escalation vulnerability in certain versions of Apache CloudStack allows a malicious Domain Admin user in the ROOT domain to reset the passwords of Admin user-accounts. This misconfiguration permits the attacker to impersonate higher-privileged accounts and access sensitive APIs and resources. Such access can lead to resource integrity compromise, loss of confidentiality, and potential service outages. To mitigate this risk, upgrades to Apache CloudStack versions 4.19.3.0 or 4.20.1.0 are crucial as they introduce enhanced validation checks on user account roles and new settings to restrict operations between different account types.
