CVE-2017-12440

High
7.5/10

Summary

Aodh as packaged in Openstack Ocata and Newton does not verify that trust "IDs" belong to the user when creating alarm action with the scheme "trust+http", which allows remote authenticated users with knowledge of trust "IDs" where Aodh is the trustee to obtain a Keystone token and perform unspecified authenticated actions by adding an alarm action with the scheme "trust+http", and providing a "trust id" where Aodh is the trustee. This issue affects aodh versions prior to 6.0.1.
