SCA: security update for swift (GHSA-h8rc-w822-q8vq)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 448369
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- In OpenStack Swift before 2.37.2, proxy-server does not strip internal update headers (X-Container-Host,
X-Container-Device, X-Delete-At-Host, X-Delete-At-Device) from client requests before forwarding them to
object-servers. An authenticated user with write access can inject these headers to redirect container
update requests to an attacker-controlled server, enabling server-side request forgery. The SSRF requests
expose internal cluster metadata including storage policy indexes, partition mappings, device names, and
when at rest encryption is enabled, cipher text and initialization vectors for the container-level
encryption key. The attacker can also cause "ghost listings" in arbitrary containers via the shard-range
redirect mechanism. (CVE-2026-50221)
Solution
Update the swift library and its related packages to version 2.37.2 or later.See Also
