Yeah, the bug is latent since https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/d6ca1cc02ab58615a6bb1b337db34dd06525112e

Basically, we accepted to not verify the scheduler in case of a rebuild because it was staying with the compute node. What we missed is that in case people pass a different image, then it could be something not acceptable for the scheduler.

Is that a security issue ? Probably. Should it be embargoed ? Not sure, but I leave other commenting that.

About the possible solution, I think we could easily mimic the evacuate behaviour and use the RequestSpec.requested_destination field for calling the scheduler but only for that specific host.

See https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/93bf6ba5186a3663606aa843a2f247709173f073/nova/compute/api.py#L3977-L3994 where we set that field if the operator doesn't want to force the target.
