CVE-2015-9543: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2015-9543: An issue was discovered in OpenStack Nova before 18.2.4, 19.x before 19.1.0, and 20.x before 20.1.0.

An issue was discovered in OpenStack Nova before 18.2.4, 19.x before 19.1.0, and 20.x before 20.1.0. It can leak consoleauth tokens into log files. An attacker with read access to the service's logs may obtain tokens used for console access. All Nova setups using novncproxy are affected. This is related to NovaProxyRequestHandlerBase.new_websocket_client in console/websocketproxy.py.

Security readout for executives and security teams

OpenStack Nova deployments using novncproxy could write console access tokens into log files. Anyone who can read those logs may be able to obtain tokens used for VM console access. This is mainly a risk where log access is broad or logs are exported to shared systems. Exposure is limited to Nova environments using novncproxy on affected versions. Practical risk depends on who can read Nova service logs, including operational users and any centralized log systems that store those logs. Treat this as a targeted operational exposure issue. Prioritize affected OpenStack private clouds where many staff or systems can read service logs, because leaked tokens may allow console access to tenant instances. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Nova to 18.2.4, 19.1.0, 20.1.0, or later as applicable.; Review OpenStack OSSA-2020-001 and distribution vendor guidance.; Restrict read access to Nova service logs and exported log stores..
