OpenStack Identity (Keystone) Folsom 2012.2.4 and earlier, Grizzly before 2013.1.1, and Havana does not immediately revoke the authentication token when deleting a user through the Keystone v2 API, which allows remote authenticated users to retain access via the token.

tools/sample_data.sh in OpenStack Keystone 2012.1.3, when access to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is configured, uses world-readable permissions for /etc/keystone/ec2rc, which allows local users to obtain access to EC2 services by reading administrative access and secret values from this file.

OpenStack Keystone 2012.1.3 does not invalidate existing tokens when granting or revoking roles, which allows remote authenticated users to retain the privileges of the revoked roles.

OpenStack Keystone before 2012.1.1, as used in OpenStack Folsom before Folsom-1 and OpenStack Essex, does not properly implement token expiration, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended authorization restrictions by (1) creating new tokens through token chaining, (2) leveraging possession of a token for a disabled user account, or (3) leveraging possession of a token for an account with a changed password.
