CVE-2013-4278
Last modified
CVE-2013-4278 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The "create an instance" API in OpenStack Compute (Nova) Folsom, Grizzly, and Havana does not properly enforce the os-flavor-access:is_public property, which allows remote authenticated users to boot arbitrary flavors by guessing the flavor id. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-2256.. EPSS estimates a 1.50% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
