id: metadata-service-openstack # This attack abuses a misconfigured proxy that allows access to the metadata # IP or a name which resolves to the IP. A standard proxy request is made to # the proxy using the full metadata URL, which the proxy will fulfull to its # own metadata sevice. # # The proxy may also be vulnerable to host/port enumeration on localhost or # inside the private network. info: name: Openstack Metadata Service Check author: sullo severity: critical description: The Openstack host is configured as a proxy which allows access to the instance metadata service. This could allow significant access to the host/infrastructure. remediation: Disable the proxy or restrict configuraiton to only allow access to approved hosts/ports.
