Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2012-2094 is an XSS issue in OpenStack Dashboard Horizon. An attacker able to inject content through a guest console could cause script or HTML to run when an affected dashboard log viewer refreshes. This is mainly a risk to operators or administrators using vulnerable Horizon versions. Exposure is most likely in legacy OpenStack deployments still running Horizon folsom-1, 2012.1, or earlier. Systems are more relevant if guest console output can be influenced by users and viewed by staff through Horizon's log viewer. Treat this as a legacy platform hygiene issue unless vulnerable Horizon is still in use. If present in an operational OpenStack environment, prioritize patching because dashboard XSS can affect privileged users and cloud administration workflows. Mitigation focus: Apply vendor-provided Horizon or OpenStack Dashboard updates from trusted distribution channels.; Review Ubuntu, Fedora, and OpenStack advisories for package-specific remediation guidance.; Confirm the upstream fix represented by the referenced Horizon commit is included..
