Summary
cloud-init vulnerabilities
Details

Harry Sintonen discovered that the hotplugd socket in cloud-init was world writable. An attacker could possibly use this issue to send hotplug-hook commands. (CVE-2024-11584)

It was discovered that cloud-init granted root access to a hardcoded URL with a local IP address when a non-x86 platform is detected. An attacker could possibly impersonate an OpenStack endpoint and provide root configuration data. (CVE-2024-6174)
