 allows project readers to mutate tags (CVE-2026-49299)

==================================================================================
OSSA-2026-016: Neutron tagging policy bypass allows project readers to 
mutate tags
==================================================================================

:Date: May 28, 2026
:CVE: CVE-2026-49299


Affects
~~~~~~~
- Neutron: >=26.0.0 <26.0.4, >=27.0.0 <27.0.3, >=28.0.0 <28.0.1


Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
Tim Shephard from roiai.ca reported a policy enforcement bypass in 
Neutron's tagging controller. The controller enforces plural policy 
action names on single-tag write operations while the defined policy 
rules use singular names. The mismatched names evaluate as allowed under 
default policy, permitting a project reader to create and update tags on 
same-project resources. Deployments running Neutron 26.0.0 or later are 
affected.



Errata
~~~~~~
When the original advisory was published a CVE number was not assigned. 
CVE-2026-49299 was assigned on 2026-05-28.
