High CVSS 7.2

CVE-2026-66138

NVD analysis in progress

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.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, with a privileged account and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Weakness
Unfiltered input reaches the system shell, letting the attacker run their own commands on the server.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle.

Read automatically from the CVSS vector, the weakness type (CWE) and the EPSS score. The technical description above remains the one published by NIST.
