Summary

OpenStack Ironic from 18.1.0 before 29.1.1, from 30.0.0 before 32.1.1, from 33.0.0 before 35.1.1, and from 36.0.0 before 39.0.1 is affected. Improper validation of input type (CWE-1287) lets the vendor_passthru interface accept DELETE and GET requests. A remote attacker with low privileges can delete accounts from the BMC's Redfish service, which affects confidentiality and integrity.
