======================================================================================================================
OSSA-2026-021: Neutron port RBAC policy bypass allows project managers to set trusted device owners on shared networks
======================================================================================================================

:Date: June 04, 2026
:CVE: CVE-2026-50266


Affects
~~~~~~~
- Neutron: >=25.0.0 <25.2.4, >=26.0.0 <26.0.4, >=27.0.0 <27.0.3, ==28.0.0


Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
Tim Shephard from roiai.ca reported a policy enforcement bypass in Neutron's default port RBAC rules. A project manager can create or update a port on a shared network owned by another project and set ``device_owner`` to a trusted network-service value such as ``network:dhcp``. Depending on backend and deployment, this can bypass anti-spoofing and security group protections. This is a regression of CVE-2015-5240 (OSSA-2015-018) introduced by the manager role support change. Deployments running Neutron 25.0.0 or later are affected.
