CVE-2026-59780: CWE-200 Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in Apache Software Foundation Apache CloudStack
Description
Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in Apache CloudStack's LDAP authentication plugin while listing LDAP providers. LDAP configurations can be listed by any authenticated user with access to the listLdapConfigurations API. By default, this API is available to all default roles. This issue affects Apache CloudStack: from 4.2.0.0 through 4.20.3.0 and from 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.20.3.1 or 4.22.1.1 or later, which fixes the issue.

Technical Analysis
The LDAP authentication plugin in Apache CloudStack improperly restricts access to the listLdapConfigurations API, allowing any authenticated user with default roles to retrieve LDAP configuration details. This exposure of sensitive information could lead to unauthorized disclosure of LDAP provider details. The vulnerability affects Apache CloudStack versions 4.2.0.0 through 4.20.3.0 and 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.1.0. Upgrading to versions 4.20.3.1 or 4.22.1.1 or later mitigates the issue.
Potential Impact
Sensitive LDAP configuration information can be accessed by any authenticated user with default roles, potentially aiding attackers in further reconnaissance or exploitation. There is no indication of remote unauthenticated access or direct system compromise from this vulnerability alone.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade Apache CloudStack to version 4.20.3.1, 4.22.1.1, or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Until upgraded, consider restricting access to the listLdapConfigurations API to trusted roles only.
