Type Values Removed Values Added
Description A malicious user with access to deploy a node directly via Ironic can specify the IPMI send_raw deployment step with a malicious payload and send commands to that nodes' BMC. IPMI send_raw capability is exposed multiple ways, including via VendorPassthru interfaces (restricted to system admin) and other step based flows such as cleaning or servicing. This also means any malicious user with the ability to initiate manual cleaning and servicing flows with arbitrary steps can also execute this vulnerability. In OpenStack Ironic before 37.0.1, an Ironic user with the ability to deploy nodes using the IPMI management interface can maliciously use the send_raw step to send arbitrary IPMI commands to a node, bypassing Ironic's access control.
