Descriptions

In the Federation component of OpenStack Keystone before 11.0.4, 12.0.0, and 13.0.0, an authenticated "GET /v3/OS-FEDERATION/projects" request may bypass intended access restrictions on listing projects. An authenticated user may discover projects they have no authority to access, leaking all projects in the deployment and their attributes. Only Keystone with the /v3/OS-FEDERATION endpoint enabled via policy.json is affected.

En el componente Federation de OpenStack Keystone en versiones anteriores a la 11.0.4, 12.0.0 y 13.0.0, una petición "GET /v3/OS-FEDERATION/projects" autenticada podría omitir las restricciones de acceso planeadas en los proyectos en lista. Un usuario autenticado podría descubrir proyectos a los que no están autorizados a acceder, filtrando todos los proyectos desplegados y sus atributos. Solo se ha visto afectado Keystone con el endpoint /v3/OS-FEDERATION habilitado mediante policy.json.

A flaw was found in Keystone federation. By doing GET /v3/OS-FEDERATION/projects an authenticated user may discover projects they have no authority to access, leaking all projects in the deployment and their attributes. Only Keystone with the /v3/OS-FEDERATION endpoint enabled via policy.json is affected.

The OpenStack Identity service authenticates and authorizes OpenStack users by keeping track of users and their permitted activities. The Identity service supports multiple forms of authentication, including user name and password credentials, token-based systems, and AWS-style logins. Issues addressed include an information exposure vulnerability.
