{"id":"CVE-2014-0105","aliases":["GHSA-gwvq-rgqf-993f","PYSEC-2014-70"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2014-0105","summary":"python-keystoneclient vulnerable to context confusion in Keystone auth_token middleware","details":"A context confusion vulnerability was identified in Keystone auth_token middleware (shipped in python-keystoneclient) before 0.7.0. By doing repeated requests, with sufficient load on the target system, an authenticated user may in certain situations assume another authenticated user's complete identity and multi-tenant authorizations, potentially resulting in a privilege escalation. Note that it is related to a bad interaction between eventlet and python-memcached that should be avoided if the calling process already monkey-patches \"thread\" to use eventlet. Only keystone middleware setups using auth_token with memcache are vulnerable.","published":"2014-04-15T14:55:03Z","modified":"2026-04-10T03:43:31.655195Z","cvss":{"score":6,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L"},"epss":{"score":0.01101,"percentile":0.64086,"asOf":"2026-09-17"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"python-keystoneclient","fixedVersion":"0.7.0"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-0382.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-0409.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-keystoneclient/+bug/1282865"},{"type":"FIX","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2014/03/27/4"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2014-0105"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openstack/python-keystoneclient"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/pypa/advisory-database/tree/main/vulns/python-keystoneclient/PYSEC-2014-70.yaml"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/python-keystoneclient/+/81078"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-04-10T03:43:31.655195Z"}}
