Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show oslo.utils

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2014-7231, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show oslo.utils

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Oslo.utils in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.2.0), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show oslo.utils command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In Oslo.utils, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

The strutils.mask_password function in the OpenStack Oslo utility library, Cinder, Nova, and Trove before 2013.2.4 and 2014.1 before 2014.1.3 does not properly mask passwords when logging commands, which allows local users to obtain passwords by reading the log.
