Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2013-4278 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-2013-4278/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4278/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-4278","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4278/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-4278","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2013-4278","GHSA-43cm-73px-5v4m","PYSEC-2026-862"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","other"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenStack Compute","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can bypass flavor access restrictions to boot arbitrary instances by guessing IDs, leading to unauthorized resource usage.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"compute","vendor":"openstack"}],"cvss":{"score":3.5,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The \"create an instance\" API in OpenStack Compute (Nova) Folsom, Grizzly, and Havana does not properly enforce the os-flavor-access:is_public property, which allows remote authenticated users to boot arbitrary flavors by guessing the flavor id.
