Subject: CVE-2025-66171: Apache CloudStack: Any user can create a new VM 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 create new VMs using backups of any other
user of the environment.

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