CVE-2016-7071
A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary VMs on systems managed by CloudForms if they know the ID of the VM.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.20%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
It was found that the CloudForms before 5.6.2.2, and 5.7.0.7 did not properly apply permissions controls to VM IDs passed by users. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary VMs on systems managed by CloudForms if they know the ID of the VM.
