What is CVE-2024-25132?
CVE-2024-25132 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in github.com/openshift/hive, published on 19 Mar 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
A flaw was found in the Hive hibernation controller component of OpenShift Dedicated. The ClusterDeployment.hive.openshift.io/v1 resource can be created with the spec.installed field set to true, regardless of the installation status, and a positive timespan for the spec.hibernateAfter value. If a ClusterSync.hiveinternal.openshift.io/v1alpha1 resource is also created, the hive hibernation controller will enter the reconciliation loop leading to a panic when accessing a non-existing field in the ClusterDeployment’s status section, resulting in a denial of service.
