Description
A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability was found in OpenStack Glance. When the HTTP store backend is enabled, an authenticated user can add an image location URL pointing to internal network services. Glance validates only the URL scheme and does not check the host or IP address, allowing the server to make requests to arbitrary internal endpoints. An attacker can read the response by downloading the image, resulting in a full-read SSRF that may expose sensitive data such as cloud metadata credentials.
