·
Updated

A vulnerability in openstack-tripleo-heat-templates was found, which regardless of supplied values for credentials uses hardcoded rabbitmq credentails to guest/guest account. In the documentation users are strongly encouraged to change the default values for credentials, however changing these values using our instructions does not correctly set the values in the rabbitmq config.

Other sources

The TripleO Heat templates (tripleo-heat-templates), as used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 7.0, do not properly use the configured RabbitMQ credentials, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access to services in deployed overclouds by leveraging knowledge of the default credentials.
