The Identity v3 API in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) before 2013.2 does not require the current password when changing passwords for user accounts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to change a user password by leveraging the authentication token for that user.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects legacy OpenStack Horizon before 2013.2. A password change did not require the user’s current password, so someone who obtained a user’s authentication token could change that user’s password more easily. It mainly increases damage from token compromise rather than enabling unauthenticated access. Exposure is likely limited to legacy OpenStack Horizon deployments older than 2013.2 using the Identity v3 API. Modern or patched Horizon versions are not indicated as affected by the provided sources. Treat as moderate priority for any legacy OpenStack environment. It is not shown as actively exploited, but it can turn token compromise into account disruption or takeover. Prioritize patch confirmation on old private-cloud control planes. Mitigation focus: Upgrade OpenStack Dashboard Horizon to 2013.2 or later.; Check OpenStack or distribution vendor guidance for backported fixes.; Invalidate exposed or suspicious user tokens after suspected compromise..
