## ๐ฏ Triage report Reports that CloudStack's Management server and System VMs (SSVM, CPVM) do not have TLS/HTTPS enabled by default out-of-the-box, exposing credentials, session tokens, and API keys to network sniffing. This is a hardening/security-by-default request rather than a code defect in a specific feature. ### ๐ Assessment | Dimension | Value | Reasoning | |---|---|---| | **Type** | `type:security` | Describes an insecure default configuration with a credential-exposure impact. | | **Component** | `component:management-server` | Management UI/API is the primary affected surface; SSVM/CPVM also mentioned but no dedicated component label fits both. | | **Severity** | n/a (no Severity label applied) | Real-world exploitability requires network access/MITM position; impact is significant but this is a "hardening" request, not a specific exploitable bug in running code, so severity is left to maintainer judgment. | | **Labels** | type:security, component:management-server | See above. | | **Coding agent** | Not suitable | Enabling TLS-by-default with auto-generated self-signed certs touches installer/packaging, systemvm templates, and security defaults โ requires design decisions and testing across supported OS/hypervisor combos. | ### ๐ Similar issues - https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/3155 (related, closed) โ "Provide mechanism to disable TLS versions/algorithms for CloudStack server services", adjacent TLS-configuration topic but not the same ask. No open duplicate was found. <details><summary>๐ก Notes and suggestions</summary> - This appears to be part of a series of "[Hardening] F-xx" reports from the same author (see also #14075); maintainers may want to track these together, e.g. via a tracking issue or common label. - Relevant prior art: CloudStack docs already describe manually configuring HTTPS for the Management server (keystore/cert setup) โ the ask here is to make this the default rather than opt-in. - Any implementation would need to consider: self-signed cert generation during `cloudstack-setup-management`/installer, browser trust warnings from self-signed certs, backward compatibility for existing deployments relying on plain HTTP, and the SSVM/CPVM systemvm template. - Recommend maintainers confirm whether this should be tracked as a new-feature/enhancement vs. filed as a security advisory through the project's private security process (see SECURITY.md), since it describes an exploitable weakness in default configuration. </details> > Generated by [Daily Issue Triage](https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/actions/runs/34232516163) ยท sonnet50 110.8K ยท [โท](https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aapache%2Fcloudstack+%22gh-aw-workflow-call-id%3A+apache%2Fcloudstack%2Fdaily-issue-triage%22&type=issues) > <details> <summary>Add this agentic workflows to your repo</summary> To install this agentic workflow, run ``` gh aw add githubnext/agentics/workflows/daily-issue-triage.md@d7c1dc4b72b00607a67caaffdcc216cb64379cf9 ``` </details> <!-- gh-aw-agentic-workflow: Daily Issue Triage, engine: copilot, version: 1.0.52, model: claude-sonnet-5, id: 34232516163, workflow_id: daily-issue-triage, run: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/actions/runs/34232516163 --> <!-- gh-aw-workflow-call-id: apache/cloudstack/daily-issue-triage --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
