Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 11 Apr 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Red Hat to 2.10.1.

AI-suggested

Red Hat has released version 2.10.1 of Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes, which includes fixes for the identified vulnerabilities. Users should upgrade to version 2.10.1 or later to remediate these issues. The vendor advisory and release notes provide installation and upgrade instructions. No additional mitigation steps are indicated beyond applying the official update.

Description

Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.10.1 images Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes provides the capabilities to address common challenges that administrators and site reliability engineers face as they work across a range of public and private cloud environments. Clusters and applications are all visible and managed from a single console—with security policy built in. This advisory contains the container images for Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes, which fix several bugs. See the following Release Notes documentation, which will be updated shortly for this release, for additional details about this release: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_advanced_cluster_management_for_kubernetes/2.10/html/release_notes/index

Impact

The vulnerabilities could lead to unintended information disclosure and resource exhaustion conditions within Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes environments prior to version 2.10.1. These issues may affect the stability and confidentiality of cluster management operations. No active exploitation has been reported, and the impact is mitigated by applying the updated container images provided in version 2.10.1.

Summary

Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.10.1 includes fixes for multiple bugs, notably CVE-2024-21501 and CVE-2024-28176. The vulnerabilities involve information exposure and potential resource consumption issues (CWE-200 and CWE-400). The advisory updates container images to address these bugs. The affected versions are 2.10.0 up to but not including 2.10.1. No known exploits in the wild have been reported. The vendor advisory does not provide a CVSS score but classifies the severity as medium.

Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #20OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.

Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: High
The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design
Design throttling mechanisms into the system architecture. The best protection is to limit the amount of resources that an unauthorized user can cause to be expended. A strong authentication and access control model will help prevent such attacks from occurring in the first place.
Architecture and Design
Mitigation of resource exhaustion attacks requires that the target system either: recognizes the attack and denies that user further access for a given amount of time, or; uniformly throttles all requests in order to make it more difficult to consume resources more quickly than they can again be freed.
Architecture and Design
Ensure that protocols have specific limits of scale placed on them.
