CVE-2026-54423 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade ironic to version 38.0.0 or higher.
Overview
ironic is an OpenStack Bare Metal Provisioning
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization in the send_raw process. An attacker can gain unauthorized control over hardware or cause a system outage by sending arbitrary IPMI commands to the BMC. This is only exploitable if administrator privileges have been explicitly delegated to project-level roles with owner or lessee capabilities, and the automatic_lessee feature is enabled and functioning.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by applying upstream patches that add a blocklist to the send_raw functionality in cleaning and servicing provisioning methods, or by revoking delegated owner or lessee capabilities from project-level roles.
