An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2013-4179 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- nova (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2013.2\n- nova (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2013.2\n- nova (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2013.2\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-2013-4179/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4179/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-4179","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4179/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-4179","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2013-4179","GHSA-j6xh-q826-55jw","PYSEC-2026-875"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenStack Compute","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service in OpenStack Compute via XML Entity Expansion attacks, requiring upgrades to patched versions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"compute","vendor":"openstack"},{"product":"havana","vendor":"openstack"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"The security group extension in OpenStack Compute (Nova) Grizzly 2013.1.3, Havana before havana-3, and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption and crash) via an XML Entity Expansion (XEE) attack.
