  - In OpenStack Swift before 2.38.2, the tempurl middleware does not reject the X-Copy-From header on PUT
    requests. A TempURL signature only covers the method, expiry, and path, and thus the list of disallowed
    headers is the only defense against a signed PUT request changing what the request does. An attacker
    holding a PUT TempURL for a single object can add an X-Copy-From header naming any object in the same
    account; the copy middleware copies that object to the destination, and the attacker then reads the
    victim's data back with a GET TempURL for the destination object. Copies across account boundaries are
    rejected. Only deployments using the shipped default proxy pipeline (tempurl and copy middleware) with
    account-level TempURL keys are affected. (CVE-2026-97149)
