CVE-2021-38155
Last modified
CVE-2021-38155 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenStack Keystone 10.x through 16.x before 16.0.2, 17.x before 17.0.1, 18.x before 18.0.1, and 19.x before 19.0.1 allows information disclosure during account locking (related to PCI DSS features). By guessing the name of an account and failing to authenticate multiple times, any unauthenticated actor could both confirm the account exists and obtain that account's corresponding UUID, which might be leveraged for other unrelated attacks. EPSS estimates a 2.46% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
