CVE-2020-12691

openstack-keystone: Credentials endpoint policy logic allows changing credential owner and target project ID

Published May 6, 2020 CVSS 3.1 · 8.8 High EPSS 4.9% KEV · Not listed
Description
An issue was discovered in OpenStack Keystone before 15.0.1, and 16.0.0. Any authenticated user can create an EC2 credential for themselves for a project that they have a specified role on, and then perform an update to the credential user and project, allowing them to masquerade as another user. This potentially allows a malicious user to act as the admin on a project another user has the admin role on, which can effectively grant that user global admin privileges.
