An issue was discovered in idrac in OpenStack Ironic before 35.0.1. During import, a user invoking molds can request authorization to be sent to a remote endpoint. The credential forwarded is a time-limited Keystone token (which provides access to all OpenStack services Ironic is authorized for); or basic credentials configured for molds storage. The fixed versions are 26.1.6, 29.0.5, 32.0.1, and 35.0.1.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2026:39811 advisory.

    Ironic is a project which aims to provision bare metal (as opposed to     virtual) machines by leveraging common technologies such as PXE boot and     IPMI to cover a wide range of hardware, while supporting pluggable drivers     to allow vendor-specific functionality to be added.

    Security Fix(es):

    * Ironic: OpenStack Ironic: Information disclosure via credential     forwarding during mold import (CVE-2026-42997)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS     score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE     page listed in the References section.

    Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in Ironic, the     OpenStack component to manage and provision baremetal servers, which     could result in information disclosure or denial of service.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed     in version 1:21.4.4-0+deb12u1. In addition python-oslo.messaging needed     to be updated to 14.0.3-0+deb12u1.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 1:29.0.5-0+deb13u2. In addition python-oslo.messaging needed     to be updated to 16.1.0-3+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your ironic packages.
