CVE-2023-40585 affects the ironic-image component of Metal3, where OpenStack Ironic API can be exposed without authentication if TLS is not configured and the API and Conductor services are not split. This vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.5 (HIGH), indicating that an unauthenticated attacker can remotely access the Ironic API over the network, potentially leading to high confidentiality impact. While the default Metal3 configuration includes TLS and basic authentication, misconfigurations can expose the API.
