Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-3542 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- keystone (PyPI): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- keystone (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2012.1\n- keystone (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2012.1\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-2012-3542/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-3542/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-3542","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-3542/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-3542","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2012-3542","GHSA-gf2q-j2qq-pjf2","PYSEC-2012-19"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenStack Identity","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can add arbitrary users to arbitrary tenants via the administrative API, enabling unauthorized privilege escalation in OpenStack Keystone.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"essex","vendor":"openstack"},{"product":"horizon","vendor":"openstack"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"OpenStack Keystone, as used in OpenStack Folsom before folsom-rc1 and OpenStack Essex (2012.1), allows remote attackers to add an arbitrary user to an arbitrary tenant via a request to update the user's default tenant to the administrative API.
