CVE-2026-42510: CWE-829 Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere in OpenStack Ironic
OpenStack Ironic before 35.0.1 allows ipmitool execution in a non-default configuration that has a console interface.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
OpenStack Ironic versions through 25.0.0 contain a vulnerability identified as CWE-829, where functionality from an untrusted control sphere is included, allowing ipmitool execution when a non-default console interface configuration is enabled. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network but requires high privileges and has high attack complexity. It impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently provided, and no known exploits have been reported.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system due to ipmitool execution capabilities. However, exploitation requires high privileges and a specific non-default configuration, limiting the attack surface. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, avoid enabling the non-default console interface configuration that allows ipmitool execution. Monitor vendor communications for updates on patches or official mitigations.
