CVE-2026-42997· NVD / CVE Program· CNA mitre

An issue was discovered in idrac in OpenStack Ironic before 35.0.1.

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.54% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: OpenStack Ironic 26.1.6, 29.0.5, 32.0.1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to OpenStack Ironic 26.1.6, 29.0.5, 32.0.1 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

An issue was discovered in idrac in OpenStack Ironic before 35.0.1. During import, a user invoking molds can request authorization to be sent to a remote endpoint. The credential forwarded is a time-limited Keystone token (which provides access to all OpenStack services Ironic is authorized for); or basic credentials configured for molds storage. The fixed versions are 26.1.6, 29.0.5, 32.0.1, and 35.0.1.
