Subject: CVE-2025-66172: Apache CloudStack: Any user can attach a volume in
 their VMs from backups they should not have access to

Severity: important

Affected versions:

- Apache CloudStack 4.21.0.0 through 4.22.0.0

Description:

The CloudStack Backup plugin has an improper access logic in versions
4.21.0.0 and 4.22.0.0. Anyone with authenticated user-account access in
CloudStack 4.21.0.0+ environments, where this plugin is enabled and have
access to specific APIs can restore a volume from any other user's
backups and attach the volume to their own VMs.

Backup plugin users using CloudStack 4.21.0.0+ are recommended to
upgrade to CloudStack version 4.22.0.1, which fixes this issue.
