Doc Text:	A verification flaw was found in openstack-aodh. As part of an HTTP alarm action, a user could pass in a trust ID. However, the trust could be from anyone because it was not verified. Because the trust was then used by openstack-aodh to obtain a keystone token for the alarm action, a malicious user could pass in another person's trust ID and obtain a keystone token containing the delegated authority of that user.

Description Andrej Nemec 2017-08-07 05:02:58 EDT

When adding an alarm action with the scheme `trust+http:` Aodh does not
verify that the user creating the alarm is the trustor or has the same
rights as the trustor, not that the trust is for the same project as the
alarm.
