description: >
  Scott Solkhon with G-Research and Dan Smith with Red Hat reported
  related vulnerabilities in Ironic and Nova. Some service
  notifications may unnecessarily embed serialized authentication
  tokens, revealing those credentials to systems administrators who
  have access to copies of notifications and allowing them to
  impersonate the affected accounts. Only deployments with
  notifications enabled using the AMQP or Kafka drivers are
  affected.
