Title:
  Non-Admin Access to Revocation Events

Status in OpenStack keystone charm:
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Identity (keystone):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Security Advisory:
  Won't Fix
Status in keystone package in Juju Charms Collection:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  With the default Keystone policy any authed user can list all revocation events for the cluster:
  https://github.com/openstack/keystone/blob/master/etc/policy.json#L179

  This can be done by directly calling the API as such:
  curl -g -i -X GET http://localhost/identity/v3/OS-REVOKE/events -H "Accept: application/json" -H "X-Auth-Token: <non_admin_token_goes_here>"

  and this will provide you with a normal revocation event list (see
  attachment).

  This will allow a user to over time collect a list of user_ids and
  project_ids. The project_ids aren't particularly useful, but the
  user_ids can be used to lock people of of their accounts. Or if rate
  limiting is not setup (a bad idea), or somehow bypassed, would allow
  someone to brute force access to those ids.

  Knowing the ids is no worse than knowing the usernames, but as a non-
  admin you shouldn't have access to such a list anyway.

  It is also worth noting that OpenStack policy files are rife with
  these blank policy rules, not just Keystone. Some are safe and
  intended to be accessible by any authed user, others are checked at
  the code layer, but there may be other rules that are unsafe to expose
  to any authed user and as such should actually default to
  "rule:admin_required" or something other than blank.
