5.0 MEDIUM

Network-accessible proxy-server requires low-privilege authenticated access; scope changes because object servers are caused to make requests, yielding partial confidentiality disclosure of internal infrastructure.

Description PRE-NVD

Disclosed via oss-security. NVD scoring and full description are pending.

AnalysisAI

Server-side request forgery in OpenStack Swift's proxy-server allows authenticated users to manipulate object servers into issuing outbound HTTP requests to attacker-specified hosts. All Swift deployments running version 2.0.0 or later across all maintained release trains are affected, including the 2025.1/epoxy, 2025.2/flamingo, 2026.1/gazpacho, and development 2026.2/hibiscus branches. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate to Swift proxy-server with valid credentials
Delivery
Craft HTTP request with injected SSRF headers specifying internal target
Exploit
Proxy-server forwards manipulated headers to object server
Execution
Object server issues outbound HTTP request to attacker-specified host
Impact
Attacker observes response to enumerate internal infrastructure or harvest metadata

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid, authenticated Swift user account with access to submit requests to the proxy-server API endpoint. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment No official CVSS score or EPSS data was supplied with this advisory, so risk metrics are inferred from the description. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with a valid Swift account submits a crafted API request to the proxy-server containing injected HTTP headers that specify an attacker-controlled or internal target host. The proxy-server forwards this manipulated request to an object server, which dutifully issues an outbound HTTP request to the specified destination - potentially reaching a cloud provider instance metadata service (e.g., 169.254.169.254) or an internal management API. …
Remediation Upstream fixes have been submitted via OpenDev code review for all maintained branches: 2026.2/hibiscus at https://review.opendev.org/994449, 2026.1/gazpacho at https://review.opendev.org/994450, 2025.2/flamingo at https://review.opendev.org/994451, and 2025.1/epoxy at https://review.opendev.org/994452. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
