Summary

In OpenStack Keystone before 29.0.3, tokens obtained via delegated authentication mechanisms (OAuth1 access tokens, application credentials, trusts) could be submitted to the token-method authentication path for reauthentication to escape their intended project scope. When an application credential token was presented with no explicit scope, Keystone would issue a new token scoped to the credential owner's default project rather than the project for which the credential was issued, bypassing the intended project boundary. All Keystone deployments that permit delegated authentication through OAuth1 access tokens, application credentials, or trusts are affected.

Risk Assessment

The risk to the organization includes the possibility of privilege escalation or unauthorized access to projects that the user should not have access to. This could lead to data integrity and access control breaches.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update OpenStack Keystone to version 29.0.3 or later. Also review delegated authentication configurations and monitor tokens for unusual scopes.
