CVE-2011-4076
MEDIUM5.9EPSS 0.41%OpenStack Nova Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Published: 4/22/2022Modified: 4/28/2026
Description
OpenStack Nova before 2012.1 allows someone with access to an EC2_ACCESS_KEY (equivalent to a username) to obtain the EC2_SECRET_KEY (equivalent to a password). Exposing the EC2_ACCESS_KEY via http or tools that allow man-in-the-middle over https could allow an attacker to easily obtain the EC2_SECRET_KEY. An attacker could also presumably brute force values for EC2_ACCESS_KEY.
