Technical details

A path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in glance versions prior to 3.0.9. The issue stems from an incomplete fix for a previous traversal bug (CVE-2018-3715), where the application fails to properly validate that requested paths remain within the boundaries of the configured public directory. An attacker can use '..' sequences in a URL to access sibling directories that share a partial name or similar path structure with the public root. Exploitation requires network access to the running glance server and can result in unauthorized disclosure of local files. The vulnerability is resolved in version 3.0.9.
