CVE-2026-93854: Openstack Blazar vulnerability

Published Sep 18, 2026
·
Updated

In OpenStack Blazar before 17.0.1, the V2 lease API does not enforce object-level authorization on its update and delete operations (PUT /v2/leases/{leaseid} and DELETE /v2/leases/{leaseid}). The policy authorize() wrapper attempts to load the target lease to build the authorization target from its owner, but it looks up the lease under the keyword "leaseid" whereas the controller methods name the parameter "id" (and the wsmepecan.wsexpose wrapper delivers it positionally). The lookup returns None, and thus authorization falls back to the requesting user's own projectid/userid instead of the target lease owner. Any authenticated user who knows a lease ID can therefore modify or delete leases belonging to other users and projects, bypassing the intended ownership check.

Affected Software

1 affected component
Openstack Blazar<17.0.1

Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Upgrade

    Upgrade OpenStack Blazar V2 lease API to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 17.0.1
  2. Compensating control

    Restrict access to the Blazar V2 lease API endpoints (PUT /v2/leases/{lease_id} and DELETE /v2/leases/{lease_id}) so only clients allowed to modify/delete leases they own can reach them.
