Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 24 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 26 Oct 2026.

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.

Description

Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.10.2 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 fixes 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/ Jira issues addressed: - ACM-10406: Observability - remove or update addonDeploymentConfig from the clusterManagementAddon is not effect - ACM-10806: Observability - local-cluster CPU utilization and overestimation data are not display on the Grafana - ACM-10811: Observability Endpoint in the Hub doesn't reconcile updates to Observability Addon Spec - ACM-10967: Endless dockercfg secret creation in MCO - ACM-11008: ACM 2.10 CSV documentation link references v2.9.0 documentation link - ACM-11071: Observability - Endpoint SA does not get created again in the hub after deletion

Impact

The vulnerabilities addressed, including CVE-2024-28849, relate to information exposure (CWE-200) and operational bugs that could affect cluster management reliability and observability. There is no indication of active exploitation or critical impact such as remote code execution. The impact is primarily on the correct functioning and security posture of Kubernetes cluster management in Red Hat environments.

Summary

The advisories cover bug fixes and container updates for Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes version 2.10.2 and Multicluster Engine for Kubernetes version 2.5.3. These components provide centralized management of multiple Kubernetes clusters across various environments. The fixes address several Jira issues, including problems with observability metrics, endless secret creation, and cluster creation in HighAvailability mode. CVE-2024-28849 is one of several CVEs remediated in these releases. The advisories provide updated container images and documentation links. No known exploits in the wild have been reported. The updates are intended to improve stability and security of cluster management operations.
