AI-suggested

A fix is available in OpenStack Neutron version 28.0.2. Users should upgrade to version 28.0.2 or later to address this vulnerability. Since no vendor advisory or patch links were provided, verify the availability of the fix from official OpenStack sources before applying. No alternative mitigations are indicated.

Description

OpenStack Neutron versions before 28.0.2 contain a vulnerability in the subnetpool onboarding API where ownership of target subnets is not verified. This allows an authenticated user to onboard subnets from another project's shared network into their own subnetpool, potentially altering the victim's subnet state and affecting L3 routing and address scope behavior for victim routers.
