An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-8176 exists.\n\nAffected product: Red Hat DevWorkspace Operator 0.33. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8176/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8176/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-8176","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8176/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-8176","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2024-8176","ALSA-2025:3531","ALSA-2025:3913","ALSA-2025:4048","ALSA-2025:7444","ALSA-2025:7512","AZL-58641","AZL-58671","BELL-CVE-2024-8176","CLSA-2025-1745530363","CLSA-2025-1746187414","CLSA-2025-1746187509","CLSA-2025-1746188001","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-8176","ECHO-d644-956d-fa05","GHSA-9hcv-xw76-m4h6","MGASA-2025-0109","OESA-2025-2564","OESA-2025-2565","OESA-2025-2672","OESA-2025-2673","OESA-2025-2674","RHSA-2025:3531","RHSA-2025:3913","RHSA-2025:4048","RHSA-2025:4446","RHSA-2025:4447","RHSA-2025:4448","RHSA-2025:4449","RHSA-2025:7444","RHSA-2025:7512","RLSA-2025:3531","RLSA-2025:3913","RLSA-2025:4048","RLSA-2025:7512","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2024-8176","SUSE-SU-2025:03239-1","SUSE-SU-2025:1186-1","SUSE-SU-2025:1201-1","SUSE-SU-2025:1295-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-8176","USN-7424-1","openSUSE-SU-2025:14952-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"XML parsing library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service by sending XML with deeply nested entities, exhausting stack space in libexpat.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-674","name":"Uncontrolled Recursion"}],"description":"A stack overflow vulnerability exists in the libexpat library due to the way it handles recursive entity expansion in XML documents.
