{"id":"CVE-2025-44021","aliases":["GHSA-q3m2-crgq-5p3q","PYSEC-2025-38"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2025-44021","summary":"OpenStack Ironic fails to restrict paths used for file:// image URLs","details":"OpenStack Ironic before 29.0.1 can write unintended files to a target node disk during image handling (if a deployment was performed via the API). 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":"2025-05-08T17:16:01Z","modified":"2026-04-10T05:26:47.563803Z","cvss":{"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"},"epss":{"score":0.00182,"percentile":0.08071,"asOf":"2026-09-17"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"ironic","fixedVersion":"24.1.3"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"ironic","fixedVersion":"26.1.1"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"ironic","fixedVersion":"29.0.1"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/openstack/ironic/commit/10590b36f541130f6a5d7a49da0f095ff8390cce","label":"openstack/ironic@10590b3"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/2107847"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://security.openstack.org/ossa/OSSA-2025-001.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2025/05/08/1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-44021"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openstack/ironic/commit/10590b36f541130f6a5d7a49da0f095ff8390cce"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openstack/ironic"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/pypa/advisory-database/tree/main/vulns/ironic/PYSEC-2025-38.yaml"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-04-10T05:26:47.563803Z"}}
