Openstack · Openstack Identity · CVE-2014-5252
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
OpenStack Identity (Keystone) versions 2014.1.x through 2014.1.2.1
OpenStack Identity (Keystone) version Juno before Juno-3
**Description**
The issue allows remote authenticated users to bypass token expiration and retain access. This is achieved via a verification request to the "v3/auth/tokens/" endpoint. The `issued at` value for UUID v2 tokens is updated, enabling continued access.
**Recommendations**
For OpenStack Identity (Keystone) versions 2014.1.x through 2014.1.2.1, update to version 2014.1.2.1 or later to resolve the issue.
For OpenStack Identity (Keystone) version Juno before Juno-3, apply the Juno-3 update to fix the problem.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "v3/auth/tokens/" endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation.
