Package : ironic CVE ID : CVE-2026-43003 CVE-2026-44918 CVE-2026-54421 CCE-2026-54423

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.

For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 1:29.0.5-0+deb13u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your ironic packages.
