How to fix?

Upgrade neutron to version 21.0.0.0rc1 or higher.

Overview

neutron is an OpenStack project to provide “network connectivity as a service” between interface devices (e.g., vNICs) managed by other OpenStack services (e.g., nova). It implements the Neutron API.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authorization when a non-admin user tries to list security groups for project_id None, it will create a default security group for that project and returns an empty list to the caller.

PoC

openstack --os-cloud devstack security group list --project None
openstack --os-cloud devstack-admin security group list
# The API call that is made is essentially `GET /networking/v2.0/security-groups?project_id=None`
