CVE-2013-0266
Published:March 08, 2013
Updated:April 30, 2026
A flaw was found in the "puppetlabs-cinder" module, as used in PackStack. This vulnerability is due to incorrect file permissions, specifically world-readable permissions, on the "cinder.conf" and "api-paste.ini" configuration files. A local user can exploit this by reading these files, which leads to the disclosure of OpenStack administrative passwords. This information disclosure could allow unauthorized access to sensitive OpenStack resources.
