CVE-2016-7404
While these should just be used for retrieving the instances' SSL certificates, they allow full API access, though and can be used to perform any API operation the user is authorized to perform.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.88%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
OpenStack Magnum passes OpenStack credentials into the Heat templates creating its instances. While these should just be used for retrieving the instances' SSL certificates, they allow full API access, though and can be used to perform any API operation the user is authorized to perform.
