CVE-2016-4985
HighSummary
The ironic-api service in OpenStack Ironic before 4.2.5 (Liberty) and 5.x before 5.1.2 (Mitaka) allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information about a registered node by leveraging knowledge of the MAC address of a network card belonging to that node and sending a crafted POST request to the v1/drivers/$DRIVER_NAME/vendor_passthru resource.
Risk Assessment
Attackers may gain access to sensitive information, potentially leading to further attacks on the organization's infrastructure. This poses a risk of data breaches and compromise of system integrity.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade OpenStack Ironic to version 4.2.5 or 5.1.2 and to monitor and restrict access to API interfaces to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability.
