Official Description
In OpenStack Ironic before 35.0.2 (in a certain non-default configuration), instance_info['ks_template'] is rendered without sandboxing.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-44916 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires high privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
