Description Vasyl Kaigorodov 2015-02-06 11:27:03 UTC 
Upstream has reported below issue in OpenStack Nova:

Title: Nova console Cross-Site WebSocket hijacking
Reporter: Brian Manifold (Cisco), Paul McMillan (Nebula)
Products: Nova
Versions: up to 2014.1.3 and 2014.2 versions up to 2014.2.2

Description:
Brian Manifold from Cisco and Paul McMillan from Nebula reported a vulnerability in Nova console websocket. By tricking an authenticated user into visiting a malicious URL, a remote attacker or a man in the middle may exploit a cross-site-websocket-hijacking vulnerability resulting in potential hijack of consoles where the user is still logged in. Only Nova setups with vnc or spice enabled are affected.

The embargo is well and truly broken on this, with both a public bug and a public patch posted. If there is any additional inconvenience associated with the embargo process I suggest we drop it.
