Type Values Removed Values Added
Description A flaw was found in OpenStack Ironic. An authenticated project manager can change the node associated with Volume Connectors or Volume Target objects, potentially changing the project permitted to access the object. Volume Connectors contain secrets in environments configuring boot from volume with iSCSI volumes. Additionally, a project manager with the ability to create nodes can use the UUID of a node not owned by their project as a parent node when creating a new node. This mismatched child node can then be used to impact operations on the parent, such as forcing it to power on. OpenStack Ironic through before 37.0.1 allows creation or modification of nodes cross-project without authorization.
