CVE-2013-1840debianglance+5
EPSS score1.37%
The v1 API in OpenStack Glance Essex (2012.1), Folsom (2012.2), and Grizzly, when using the single-tenant Swift or S3 store, reports the location field, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain the operator's backend credentials via a request for a cached image.CVE-2013-4428canonicalubuntu_linux+5EPSS score3.08%
OpenStack Image Registry and Delivery Service (Glance) Folsom, Grizzly before 2013.1.4, and Havana before 2013.2, when the download_image policy is configured, does not properly restrict access to cached images, which allows remote authenticated users to read otherwise restricted images via an image UUID.CVE-2015-5163debianglance+5EPSS score1.50%
The import task action in OpenStack Image Service (Glance) 2015.1.x before 2015.1.2 (kilo), when using the V2 API, allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via a crafted backing file for a qcow2 image.CVE-2015-5162debiancinder+35EPSS score3.09%
The image parser in OpenStack Cinder 7.0.2 and 8.0.0 through 8.1.1; Glance before 11.0.1 and 12.0.0; and Nova before 12.0.4 and 13.0.0 does not properly limit qemu-img calls, which might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and disk consumption) via a crafted disk image.CVE-2015-8234debianglance+3EPSS score1.26%
The image signature algorithm in OpenStack Glance 11.0.0 allows remote attackers to bypass the signature verification process via a crafted image, which triggers an MD5 collision.CVE-2015-3289debianglance+1EPSS score1.31%
OpenStack Glance before 2015.1.1 (kilo) allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) by repeatedly using the import task flow API to create images and then deleting them.CVE-2022-47951debiancinder+123EPSS score1.03%
An issue was discovered in OpenStack Cinder before 19.1.2, 20.x before 20.0.2, and 21.0.0; Glance before 23.0.1, 24.x before 24.1.1, and 25.0.0; and Nova before 24.1.2, 25.x before 25.0.2, and 26.0.0. By supplying a specially created VMDK flat image that references a specific backing file path, an authenticated user may convince systems to return a copy of that file's contents from the server, resulting in unauthorized access to potentially sensitive data.CVE-2017-7200debianglance+3EPSS score2.06%
An SSRF issue was discovered in OpenStack Glance before Newton. The 'copy_from' feature in the Image Service API v1 allowed an attacker to perform masked network port scans. With v1, it is possible to create images with a URL such as 'http://localhost:22'. This could then allow an attacker to enumerate internal network details while appearing masked, since the scan would appear to originate from the Glance Image service.CVE-2024-32498debiancinder+28EPSS score0.83%
An issue was discovered in OpenStack Cinder through 24.0.0, Glance before 28.0.2, and Nova before 29.0.3. Arbitrary file access can occur via custom QCOW2 external data. By supplying a crafted QCOW2 image that references a specific data file path, an authenticated user may convince systems to return a copy of that file's contents from the server, resulting in unauthorized access to potentially sensitive data. All Cinder and Nova deployments are affected; only Glance deployments with image conversion enabled are affected.CVE-2026-71198debianglance+2EPSS score0.45%
In OpenStack Glance before 32.0.1, the location API does not validate destination hosts when adding an HTTP location to an image. Unlike the web-download import path, the location API only checks the URL scheme and does not apply the import_filtering_opts host restrictions. An authenticated user can add a location pointing to internal endpoints such as the cloud metadata service (169.254.169.254), and retrieve the response by downloading the image data. This affects both the new POST /v2/images/{id}/locations API and the old PATCH API when show_multiple_locations is enabled. Deployments with the HTTP store backend enabled are affected.CVE-2026-77648debianglance+2EPSS score0.29%
In OpenStack Glance through 32.0.0, the /v2/tasks API accepts type=import tasks that
bypass import_filtering_opts, allowing an admin to fetch internal
URLs from the Glance service network (aka SSRF), as long as https:// or http:// is used. This API has been available only to admins since Xena, and it has been deprecated for several releases.CVE-2026-34881debianglance+5EPSS score0.44%
OpenStack Glance before 29.1.1, 30.x before 30.1.1, and 31.0.0 is affected by Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). By use of HTTP redirects, an authenticated user can bypass URL validation checks and redirect to internal services. Only glance image import functionality is affected. In particular, the web-download and glance-download import methods are subject to this vulnerability, as is the optional (not enabled by default) ovf_process image import plugin.
