CVE-2023-6110Network attack vector

Unrelated access-rule deletion via faulty name lookup

Published Nov 17, 2024 · Updated Dec 5, 2024

Improper access-rule deletion in Red Hat OpenStack Platform allows remote authenticated users to delete unrelated rules through its CLI. The access rule delete command uses generic resource lookup code that wrongly assumes access rules have a name, so a missing ID can resolve to a different rule. Exploitation requires valid OpenStack credentials and an attempted deletion of a nonexistent ID; the result can alter authorization data and interrupt dependent access.
