By use of HTTP redirects, an authenticated user can bypass URL validation checks and redirect to internal services. Only the glance image import functionality is affected. In particular, the web-download and glance-download import methods are subject to this vulnerability, as is the optional (not enabled by default) ovf_process image import plugin.
