What is CVE-2024-7128?

CVE-2024-7128 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.11, published on 26 Jul 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

A flaw was found in the OpenShift console. Several endpoints in the application use the authHandler() and authHandlerWithUser() middleware functions. When the default authentication provider ("openShiftAuth") is set, these functions do not perform any authentication checks, relying instead on the targeted service to handle authentication and authorization. This issue leads to various degrees of data exposure due to a lack of proper credential verification.
