CVE-2026-54423 is an access control bypass in OpenStack Ironic's IPMI-related provisioning functionality. In affected versions, an authenticated Ironic user who is permitted to deploy nodes through the IPMI management interface can abuse the step-based send_raw capability to submit arbitrary IPMI commands to a target node's baseboard management controller. This bypasses Ironic's intended access restrictions around raw IPMI command execution, which is otherwise exposed through more privileged administrative interfaces. The issue also affects scenarios where a user can initiate manual cleaning or servicing workflows with arbitrary steps, allowing the same raw-command capability to be invoked through those flows.

send_raw for legitimate workflows should review the patch behavior carefully and redesign those workflows to avoid exposing raw BMC command execution to non-administrative roles.Patch, then assume compromise.
