{"id":"CVE-2017-15114","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2017-15114","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T20:26:21.958Z","title":"As no additional authentication is configured this allows these services to connect to libvirtd (which is equivalent to root access).","description":"When libvirtd is configured by OSP director (tripleo-heat-templates) to use the TLS transport it defaults to the same certificate authority as all non-libvirtd services. As no additional authentication is configured this allows these services to connect to libvirtd (which is equivalent to root access). If a vulnerability exists in another service it could, combined with this flaw, be exploited to escalate privileges to gain control over compute nodes.","published":"2017-11-27T16:29:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T01:07:16.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"secalert@redhat.com","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":8.1,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-295"],"affected":["redhat/openstack platform"],"epss":{"score":0.01701,"percentile":0.77097,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.70%).
