Description

The TempURL middleware in OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) 1.4.6 through 1.8.0, 1.9.0 through 1.10.0, and 1.11.0 allows remote attackers to obtain secret URLs by leveraging an object name and a timing side-channel attack.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for swift, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    A fix is available for CVE-2014-0006; check the affected-versions list above or the advisory for the patched release of swift, then make sure no transitive dependency still pins the vulnerable range.

  3. Workarounds

    Assume what was exposed is already known: rotate any credential, token or key that the affected component could return, restrict the endpoint to callers that genuinely need it, and strip sensitive fields from responses and error output at the boundary rather than relying on the client not to read them.

Fixing This On Your OS

If you run this on a Linux distribution, patch through your package manager against the distro's own security advisory below — it tracks the exact backported fix for your release, which can ship on a different timeline (and sometimes a different severity) than the upstream project.
