The Cloud Controller and Router in Cloud Foundry (CAPI-release capi versions prior to v1.32.0, Routing-release versions prior to v0.159.0, CF-release versions prior to v267) do not validate the issuer on JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) from UAA. With certain multi-zone UAA configurations, zone administrators are able to escalate their privileges.
This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 6.6, indicating it can be exploited remotely over the network but requires specific conditions to be met without requiring user interaction . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), integrity (unauthorized modifications), and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 3 products from cloudfoundry, from cloudfoundry, from cloudfoundry organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
First disclosed in 2017, this vulnerability was reported during a period defined by widespread IoT adoption challenges, mobile security concerns, and the emergence of advanced persistent threat (APT) techniques. Contemporary mitigation strategies focused on secure development practices and third-party component vetting.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For cloudfoundry's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
