Summary

An issue in the VMware datastore driver of OpenStack glance_store. When an authenticated attacker provides a maliciously crafted image location URI pointing to an external server, the _retry_request function fails to validate the destination host before attaching sensitive authentication headers.

Risk Assessment

Sensitive authentication headers may be sent to an external server controlled by the attacker, leading to credential leakage.
