CVE-2024-7079Network attack vector

Resource disclosure via unauthenticated Helm chart verification

Published Jul 24, 2024 · Updated Nov 20, 2025

Missing authentication in OpenShift Console 4.16 allows remote attackers to query arbitrary URLs through the Helm verification endpoint. The authHandlerWithUser middleware passes requests to /api/helm/verify without validating credentials before the verifier fetches a remote or local chart URI. A crafted chart exposes Kubernetes resources available to the console service account, while any authenticated account can make the web console fail to load for all users.
