[Bug 1585831] [NEW] Horizon dashboard leaks internal information through cookies

 

Public bug reported:

When horizon is configured where:
1) internalURL and publicURL are on different networks
2) horizon uses the internalURL endpoint for authentication

The cookie "login_region" will be set to the value configured as
OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_URL.

This URL contains the IP address of the internalURL of keystone.

In the case of a deployment where the internal network is different than
the public network, the IP address of the internal network is considered
sensitive information.  By putting the OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_URL in the
cookie that is sent to the public network, horizon leaks the values of
the internal network IP addresses.
