GSD-2012-3542

Vulnerability from gsd - Updated: 2023-12-13 01:20
Details
OpenStack Keystone, as used in OpenStack Folsom before folsom-rc1 and OpenStack Essex (2012.1), allows remote attackers to add an arbitrary user to an arbitrary tenant via a request to update the user's default tenant to the administrative API.
