CVE-2026-93860 Details
Description
In OpenStack Mistral through 23.0.0, the /v2/maintenance API controller clears the request context and calls the maintenance service directly without any policy enforcement. Any holder of a valid Mistral token, regardless of assigned role, can read and change the service's cluster-wide maintenance state. Setting the state to PAUSED stops processing of new workflow and execution objects across all tenant projects until an operator restores it.
An authorization bypass vulnerability has been identified in OpenStack Mistral versions through 23.0.0. The issue arises in the /v2/maintenance API controller, which clears the request context and directly invokes the maintenance service without enforcing any policies. This flaw allows any user with a valid Mistral token, regardless of their role, to read and modify the service's cluster-wide maintenance state. Setting the state to PAUSED halts the processing of new workflow and execution objects across all tenant projects until an operator manually restores it.
The vulnerability has been patched in Mistral. Users can apply the patch by updating to the latest version of OpenStack Mistral.
