CVE-2026-97149

MEDIUM CVSS 4.0: 5.3 EPSS 0.24%
Updated Oct 06, 2026
Openstack
Parameter Value
CVSS 5.3 (MEDIUM)
Affected Versions 2.36.0 — 2.38.2
Fixed In 2.35.5
Type CWE-184
Vendor Openstack
Public PoC No

In OpenStack Swift before 2.38.2, the tempurl middleware does not reject the X-Copy-From header on PUT requests. A TempURL signature only covers the method, expiry, and path, and thus the list of disallowed headers is the only defense against a signed PUT request changing what the request does. An attacker holding a PUT TempURL for a single object can add an X-Copy-From header naming any object in the same account; the copy middleware copies that object to the destination, and the attacker then reads the victim's data back with a GET TempURL for the destination object.

Copies across account boundaries are rejected. Only deployments using the shipped default proxy pipeline (tempurl and copy middleware) with account-level TempURL keys are affected.
