OpenStack Vitrage: Unauthorized Access to the Host can Lead to Eval Injection

Critical severity GitHub Reviewed Published Feb 27, 2026 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Mar 5, 2026

Package

pip vitrage (pip)

Affected versions

>= 15.0.0.0rc1, < 15.0.1
>= 14.0.0.0rc1, < 14.0.1
>= 13.0.0.0rc1, < 13.0.1
< 12.0.1

Patched versions

15.0.1
14.0.1
13.0.1
12.0.1

Description

In the query parser in OpenStack Vitrage before 12.0.1, 13.0.0, 14.0.0, and 15.0.0, a user allowed to access the Vitrage API may trigger code execution on the Vitrage service host as the user the Vitrage service runs under. This may result in unauthorized access to the host and further compromise of the Vitrage service. All deployments exposing the Vitrage API are affected. This occurs in _create_query_function in vitrage/graph/query.py.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

Weaknesses

Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code ('Eval Injection')

The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes code syntax before using the input in a dynamic evaluation call (e.g. eval). Learn more on MITRE.
