A malicious project assigned as a node owner can provide a path to any local file (readable by ironic-conductor), which may then be written to the target node disk. This is difficult to exploit in practice, because a node deployed in this manner should never reach the ACTIVE state, but it still represents a danger in environments running with non-default, insecure configurations such as with automated cleaning disabled. The fixed versions are 24.1.3, 26.1.1, and 29.0.1.","published":"2025-05-08T17:16:02.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T09:24:56.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":2.8,"severity":"LOW","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-22"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.0019,"percentile":0.08576,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.19%).
