3. Description:

OpenStack Dashboard (horizon) provides administrators and users with a graphical interface to access, provision, and automate cloud-based resources.

A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the way orchestration templates were handled. An owner of such a template could use this flaw to perform XSS attacks against other Horizon users. (CVE-2014-3473)

It was found that network names were not sanitized. A malicious user could use this flaw to perform XSS attacks against other Horizon users by creating a network with a specially crafted name. (CVE-2014-3474)

It was found that certain email addresses were not sanitized. An administrator could use this flaw to perform XSS attacks against other Horizon users by storing an email address that has a specially crafted name. (CVE-2014-3475)

A persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the horizon host aggregate interface. A user with sufficient privileges to add a host aggregate could potentially use this flaw to capture the credentials of another user. (CVE-2014-3594)
