Summaryinfo

A vulnerability labeled as very critical has been found in OpenStack Ironic Python Agent. Affected is an unknown function. The manipulation of the argument ntp_server results in os command injection. This vulnerability is cataloged as CVE-2026-66138. The attack may be launched remotely. There is no exploit available.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as very critical, was found in OpenStack Ironic Python Agent. Affected is an unknown part. The manipulation of the argument ntp_server with an unknown input leads to a os command injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-78. The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

In OpenStack Ironic Python Agent through 11.6.0, a project-scoped user with the manager role can achieve arbitrary code execution on a running Ironic-Python-Agent via a maliciously constructed configuration, because the value of ntp_server is passed to a shell.

The advisory is available at bugs.launchpad.net. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2026-66138 since 07/24/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely.
