A malicious user with access to deploy a node directly via Ironic can specify the IPMI send_raw deployment step with a malicious payload and send commands to that nodes' BMC. IPMI send_raw capability is exposed multiple ways, including via VendorPassthru interfaces (restricted to system admin) and other step based flows such as cleaning or servicing. This also means any malicious user with the ability to initiate manual cleaning and servicing flows with arbitrary steps can also execute this vulnerability.
