Technical

APM version 1.1.0 allows any APM user to connect to any console by specifying the console's name in the URL. Versions 1.2.0 and 1.2.1 of the APM only allow the user to connect to a console if they had at some time been authorized to, and accessed, the specified console.

Solution

As a work around, it is also possible to correct the flaw by disabling the APM web interface. In addition, Cyclades has released a patch for some versions of the APM.
