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

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


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.
