CVE-2025-25208Network attack vector

Authorization outage via crafted sharedSecretRef

Published Jun 9, 2025 · Updated Mar 26, 2026

Uncontrolled resource consumption in Red Hat Connectivity Link 1.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to crash Authorino via an AuthPolicy. Red Hat identifies an AuthPolicy containing sharedSecretRef as the trigger but has not published the failing operation or resource-consumption path. A Developer persona must submit the policy; the crash stops evaluation of all AuthPolicies across the cluster.
