What is CVE-2014-3801?

CVE-2014-3801 is a low-severity security vulnerability in openstack-heat (pip), affecting versions < 5.0.0a0. It is fixed in 5.0.0a0.

Which versions of openstack-heat are affected by CVE-2014-3801?

openstack-heat (pip) versions < 5.0.0a0 is affected.

Is there a fix for CVE-2014-3801?

Yes. CVE-2014-3801 is fixed in 5.0.0a0. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is CVE-2014-3801 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether CVE-2014-3801 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether CVE-2014-3801 is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

Summary

OpenStack Heat template URL information leakage

OpenStack Orchestration API (Heat) 2013.2 through 2013.2.3 and 2014.1, when creating the stack for a template using a provider template, allows remote authenticated users to obtain the provider template URL via the resource-type-list.

Impact

Affected versions

openstack-heat (< 5.0.0a0)

Security releases

openstack-heat → 5.0.0a0 (pip)

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
