**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
OpenStack Keystone versions prior to 15.0.1
OpenStack Keystone version 16.0.0
**Description**
An issue allows any user authenticated within a limited scope to create an EC2 credential with escalated permission, such as obtaining admin while the user is on a limited viewer role. This potentially allows a malicious user to act as the admin on a project another user has the admin role on, which can effectively grant that user global admin privileges.
**Recommendations**
For OpenStack Keystone versions prior to 15.0.1, update to version 15.0.1 or later to resolve the issue.
For OpenStack Keystone version 16.0.0, update to a version later than 16.0.0 to resolve the issue.
