The v1 API in OpenStack Glance Essex (2012.1), Folsom (2012.2), and Grizzly, when using the single-tenant Swift or S3 store, reports the location field, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain the operator's backend credentials via a request for a cached image.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue exposes storage backend credentials through OpenStack Glance's v1 image API in certain 2012-era releases. A logged-in cloud user requesting a cached image could see the image location and recover operator Swift or S3 credentials. Business impact is credential leakage from the image service, mainly where old Glance deployments still use single-tenant Swift or S3 storage. Exposure is likely limited to legacy OpenStack Glance deployments using the v1 API with single-tenant Swift or S3 image stores. Environments not running these Glance versions, not exposing v1, or not using those stores are not indicated as affected by the provided sources. Treat as high priority only for organizations with old OpenStack Glance deployments. The key risk is cloud storage credential exposure to authenticated users. If no affected Glance versions or storage modes remain, the issue is mainly historical and should be documented as not applicable. Mitigation focus: Identify any Glance Essex, Folsom, or Grizzly deployments still in service.; Check whether Glance v1 API and single-tenant Swift or S3 stores are enabled.; Apply vendor fixes from OpenStack, Ubuntu, Red Hat, or current distribution guidance..
