Descriptions

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Horizon Orchestration dashboard in OpenStack Dashboard (aka Horizon) 2013.2 before 2013.2.4 and icehouse before icehouse-rc2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the description field of a Heat template.

OpenStack Dashboard provides administrators and users a graphical interface to access, provision and automate cloud-based resources. The dashboard allows cloud administrators to get an overall view of the size and state of the cloud and it provides end-users a self-service portal to provision their own resources within the limits set by administrators. A flaw was discovered in OpenStack Dashboard that could allow a remote attacker to conduct cross-site scripting attacks if they were able to trick a horizon user into using a malicious heat template. Note that only setups exposing the orchestration dashboard in OpenStack Dashboard were affected.
