PYSEC-2026-878
OpenStack Compute (Nova) allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via API requests
Quick fix
PYSEC-2026-878 — nova: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
pip install --upgrade 'nova>=2013.2.4'Details
The Nova EC2 API security group implementation in OpenStack Compute (Nova) 2013.1 before 2013.2.4 and icehouse before icehouse-rc2 does not enforce RBAC policies for (1) add_rules, (2) remove_rules, (3) destroy, and other unspecified methods in compute/api.py when using non-default policies, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via these API requests.
