Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2011-4596 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- nova (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 12.0.0a0\n- nova (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 12.0.0a0\n- nova (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 12.0.0a0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-4596/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-4596/index.md)","id":"CVE-2011-4596","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-4596/index.md","name":"CVE-2011-4596","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2011-4596","GHSA-qr62-r9xc-r2gj","PYSEC-2026-881"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"OpenStack Nova","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can overwrite arbitrary files via crafted tarballs or manifests when EC2 API and S3 image registration are enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"nova","vendor":"openstack"}],"cvss":{"score":6,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in OpenStack Nova before 2011.3.1, when the EC2 API and the S3/RegisterImage image-registration method are enabled, allow remote authenticated users to overwrite arbitrary files via a crafted (1) tarball or (2) manifest.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"OpenStack Nova Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2011-4596","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2011"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-4597"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["12.0.0a0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"nova","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-qr62-r9xc-r2gj"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["12.0.0a0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"nova","purl":"pkg:pypi/nova","source":"GHSA-qr62-r9xc-r2gj"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["12.0.0a0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"nova","purl":"pkg:pypi/nova","source":"PYSEC-2026-881"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in pretty-link plugin","id":"CVE-2011-4595"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2011-12-23","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"OpenStack Nova logs sensitive context from notification exceptions","id":"CVE-2017-7214","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-21"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"OpenStack Nova DoS by rebuilding the same instance with a new image multiple times","id":"CVE-2017-17051","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-05"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"OpenStack Nova Live migration fails to update persistent domain XML","id":"CVE-2020-17376","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-26"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"OpenStack Nova Denial of service attack on the compute host","id":"CVE-2017-18191","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-02-19"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"OpenStack Compute (nova) allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service","id":"CVE-2015-3280","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-10-26"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"OpenStack Nova instance migration process does not stop when instance is deleted","id":"CVE-2015-3241","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-09-08"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"OpenStack Nova vulnerable to unauthorized access to potentially sensitive data","id":"CVE-2024-40767","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-24"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can overwrite arbitrary files via crafted tarballs or manifests when EC2 API and S3 image registration are enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-4596/"}
