DescriptionCVE.org

In OpenStack Keystone before 29.0.3, any authenticated user holding role:reader on any project can list every project-scoped role assignment under any domain by passing a domain ID as scope.project.id with include_subtree to the GET /v3/role_assignments endpoint. The domain's project record has domain_id=null, causing the policy domain_id check to pass for any caller. With include_names, the response discloses the names and home-domain IDs of every user, group, project, and role involved. The literal "default" domain ID works against any deployment created with keystone-manage bootstrap. An attacker can harvest domain IDs from the response and repeat the query to map role assignments across the entire cloud. This is caused by misuse of "None" in

list_role_assignments_for_tree.

AnalysisAI

OpenStack Keystone before 29.0.3 allows any authenticated user holding role:reader on any project to enumerate all role assignments across any domain in the cloud by exploiting a type-confusion bug in the GET /v3/role_assignments endpoint. The attack supplies a domain ID as scope.project.id with include_subtree, triggering a null domain_id policy check that passes unconditionally for all callers because domains are internally modeled as projects with domain_id=null. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must hold a valid Keystone authentication token with role:reader on any project in the target OpenStack deployment - the minimum non-guest privilege level, commonly granted to ordinary tenants in multi-tenant clouds. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N, score 7.1) accurately reflects the threat profile. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has obtained a minimal OpenStack user account - such as a shared-tenant account in a public cloud or a compromised service account - authenticates to Keystone and obtains a project-scoped token with role:reader. The attacker sends GET /v3/role_assignments?scope.project.id=default&include_subtree=true&include_names=true using the well-known 'default' domain ID constant, receiving a full role assignment listing for the default domain including user names, group names, and home-domain IDs. …
Remediation The primary fix is to upgrade OpenStack Keystone to version 29.0.3 or later, which corrects the null domain_id handling in list_role_assignments_for_tree. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
