In OpenStack Ironic before 37.0.1, when applying a PATCH to update fields in volume properties the user is authorized for, Ironic can return unredacted sensitive information (such as iSCSI credentials). The PATCH outcome is a security issue; the POST outcome is not a security issue.

The remote Debian 13 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-6445 advisory.

    Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in Ironic,     the OpenStack component to management and provision of baremetal     servers, which could result in bypass of administrative access/API     restrictions, information disclosure or the execution of arbitrary     code via malformed images.
