Resource-accounting bypass in OpenStack Nova (compute service) lets an authenticated tenant create an instance whose scheduler hint data is not properly stripped, resulting in a running VM that has no corresponding Placement allocation. Because the instance consumes real host CPU/RAM/disk that the Placement service never accounted for, an attacker with ordinary project credentials can quietly over-subscribe a compute host and degrade availability for co-located tenants. SSVC lists exploitation as proof-of-concept (no public exploit identified as weaponized) with partial technical impact; EPSS is low at 0.26% (17th percentile).
