CVE-2015-1195
CVE-2015-1195 is a Path Traversal vulnerability in glance. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2015-1195 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
OpenStack Glance v2 API unrestricted path traversal through filesystem:// scheme
Real-World Exposure
glanceReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
The V2 API in OpenStack Image Registry and Delivery Service (Glance) before 2014.1.4 and 2014.2.x before 2014.2.2 allows remote authenticated users to read or delete arbitrary files via a full pathname in a filesystem: URL in the image location property. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-9493.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for glance. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update glance to 11.0.0a0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2015-1195 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2015-1195 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2015-1195. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2015-1195 in your dependencies?
O3 detects CVE-2015-1195 across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
