CVE-2024-45462: Apache CloudStack: Incomplete session invalidation on web interface logout

[Daniel Augusto Veronezi Salvador <gutoveronezi () apache org>]

Severity: moderate

Affected versions:

- Apache CloudStack 4.15.1.0 through 4.18.2.3
- Apache CloudStack 4.19.0.0 through 4.19.1.1

Description:

The logout operation in the CloudStack web interface does not expire the user session completely which is valid until 
expiry by time or restart of the backend service. An attacker that has access to a user's browser can use an unexpired 
session to gain access to resources owned by the logged out user account. This issue affects Apache CloudStack from 
4.15.1.0 through 4.18.2.3; and from 4.19.0.0 through 4.19.1.1.




Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache CloudStack 4.18.2.4 or 4.19.1.2, or later, which addresses this issue.
