CVE-2026-75885: OpenShift Console allows unauthenticated SSRF and memory overload

CVE-2026-75885 · published 23 days ago
Summary

The OpenShift Container Platform 4 console lets anyone reach the /api/devfile/ endpoints without logging in. An attacker can trick the console into contacting internal services and can also flood it with large requests, causing the server to run out of memory and stop responding. Apply the latest security update from Red Hat and restrict access to these endpoints.

Original advisory text
Openshift/console: openshift/console: unauthenticated ssrf and resource exhaustion via devfile parser endpoint
A flaw was found in the OpenShift console. Unauthenticated access to the `/api/devfile/` and `/api/devfile/samples/` endpoints allows a remote attacker to send crafted devfile payloads. This can lead to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), where the console pod makes requests to internal services and reflects partial responses to the attacker. Additionally, by sending repeated large requests without a specified content length, an attacker can cause unbounded memory growth, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).
