>
> The "unauthenticated API" allows a caller to reset CloudStack administrator
> passwords. This presents a security risk becaues it allows for privilege
> escallation attacks. First, if the unauthenticated API is listening on the
> network (instead of locally) then any user on the network can reset admin
> passwords. If, the API is only listening locally, then any user with access
> to the local box can resset admin passwords. This would allow them to access
> other hosts within the cloudstack deployment.
> While it may be important to provide a recovery mechanism for admin passwords
> that have been lost or hyjacked, such a solution needs to be secure. We
> should either remove this feature from the Unauthenticated API, or provide a
> solution that is less open to abuse.
