CVE-2024-7128Network attack vector

Unauthenticated data exposure via unchecked middleware

Published Jul 26, 2024 · Updated Nov 20, 2025

Information exposure in OpenShift Console 4.16 through 4.18 allows remote attackers to read API data without valid credentials. The authHandler() and authHandlerWithUser() middleware functions skip credential verification for multiple /api/console and related endpoints, delegating authorization to downstream services. Exposure requires the default openShiftAuth provider and is limited to endpoint data; no data modification or service interruption is reported.
