Type Values Removed Values Added
Description A flaw was found in OpenStack Ironic. A missing authorization check in the node PATCH API allows an authenticated lessee member to change the maintenance state of a bare metal node, an operation that should be restricted to lessee managers and administrators. By sending a PATCH request to /v1/nodes/{ident} with a maintenance field, the request is processed under the generic node-update policy rather than the stricter set_maintenance policy, bypassing the intended role boundary. This could allow a lessee member to place nodes into maintenance (disrupting scheduling and availability) or to clear maintenance mode on nodes an operator intentionally marked as under maintenance.
