CVE-2026-59780: CWE-200 Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in Apache Software Foundation Apache CloudStack
Description
CVE-2026-59780 is a high-severity vulnerability in Apache CloudStack's LDAP authentication plugin that allows exposure of sensitive information to unauthorized actors. The issue arises because any authenticated user with access to the listLdapConfigurations API can list LDAP configurations, and this API is by default accessible to all default roles. This affects Apache CloudStack versions from 4.2.0.0 through 4.20.3.0 and from 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0. The vulnerability is fixed in versions 4.20.3.1 and 4.22.1.1 or later.

Technical Analysis
The vulnerability CVE-2026-59780 in Apache CloudStack involves exposure of sensitive LDAP configuration information via the listLdapConfigurations API. This API is accessible by default to all authenticated users with default roles, allowing them to retrieve LDAP provider details that should be restricted. The affected versions include 4.2.0.0 through 4.20.3.0 and 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0. The issue is resolved by upgrading to versions 4.20.3.1 or 4.22.1.1 or later.
Potential Impact
An attacker with any authenticated user privileges can access sensitive LDAP configuration information, potentially leading to further reconnaissance or exploitation. The confidentiality of LDAP provider details is compromised, but there is no indication of impact on integrity or availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade Apache CloudStack to version 4.20.3.1, 4.22.1.1, or later to remediate this vulnerability. Until upgraded, consider restricting access to the listLdapConfigurations API to only trusted roles if possible. Patch status is confirmed as fixed in the specified versions.
