# CVE-2026-71198

## Summary

- **CVE ID:** CVE-2026-71198
- **Severity:** HIGH
- **CVSS Score:** 7 (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:N/SA:N)
- **CWE:** CWE-918
- **Published:** Sep 14, 2026
- **Last Modified:** Sep 14, 2026

## Description

In OpenStack Glance before 32.0.1, the location API does not validate destination hosts when adding an HTTP location to an image. Unlike the web-download import path, the location API only checks the URL scheme and does not apply the import_filtering_opts host restrictions. An authenticated user can add a location pointing to internal endpoints such as the cloud metadata service (169.254.169.254), and retrieve the response by downloading the image data. This affects both the new POST /v2/images/{id}/locations API and the old PATCH API when show_multiple_locations is enabled. Deployments with the HTTP store backend enabled are affected.

## Affected Products

- OpenStack — Glance (16.0.0)
- OpenStack — Glance (31.0.0)
- OpenStack — Glance (32.0.0)
