OpenStack Neutron: Neutron port RBAC policy bypass allows project managers to set trusted device owners on shared networks
Quick fix
PYSEC-2026-3491 — neutron: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
pip install --upgrade 'neutron>=28.0.1'Details
In OpenStack Neutron before 28.0.1, a project manager can create or update a port on a shared network owned by another project and set device_owner to a value that has "network:" at the beginning ("network:dhcp" for example). The default port RBAC policies incorrectly included PROJECT_MANAGER without requiring network ownership, allowing any project manager to obtain trusted network-service port behavior on shared networks. Depending on backend and deployment, this can bypass anti-spoofing and security group protections, enabling DHCP, MAC, or IP spoofing against other tenants on the shared network. This is a regression of CVE-2015-5240 (OSSA-2015-018).
