CVE-2014-0167: OpenStack Compute (Nova) allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via API requests

May 17, 2022 (updated October 31, 2025)

The Nova EC2 API security group implementation in OpenStack Compute (Nova) 2013.1 before 2013.2.4 and icehouse before icehouse-rc2 does not enforce RBAC policies for (1) add_rules, (2) remove_rules, (3) destroy, and other unspecified methods in compute/api.py when using non-default policies, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via these API requests.
