DescriptionNVD

An issue was discovered in idrac in OpenStack Ironic before 35.0.1. During import, a user invoking molds can request authorization to be sent to a remote endpoint. The credential forwarded is a time-limited Keystone token (which provides access to all OpenStack services Ironic is authorized for); or basic credentials configured for molds storage. The fixed versions are 26.1.6, 29.0.5, 32.0.1, and 35.0.1.

AnalysisAI

Credential forwarding vulnerability in OpenStack Ironic's idrac driver allows authenticated attackers to steal time-limited Keystone tokens or molds storage credentials by manipulating import operations. Attackers with low-privileged Ironic access can redirect these credentials to attacker-controlled endpoints, gaining unauthorized access to all OpenStack services that Ironic is authorized for. …
