REDHAT-BUG-2464305: High severity Openstack Keystone vulnerability

Published May 1, 2026
·
Updated

An issue was discovered in OpenStack Keystone 13 through 29. POST /v3/credentials did not validate that the caller-supplied projectid for an EC2-type credential matched the project of the authenticating application credential. This allowed an attacker holding an unrestricted application credential for project A to create an EC2 credential targeting project B; a subsequent /v3/ec2tokens exchange would then issue a Keystone token scoped to project B while still carrying the original appcredid, enabling cross-project lateral movement within the credential owner's role footprint.
