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 4.15.58.

AI-suggested

Red Hat advises all OpenShift Container Platform 4.15 users to upgrade to version 4.15.58, which contains the security fixes. There are no effective mitigations that meet Red Hat's criteria for ease of use and applicability; therefore, upgrading is the recommended and supported remediation. Users should follow Red Hat's official upgrade instructions using the OpenShift CLI or web console to apply this update.

Description

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is Red Hat's cloud computing Kubernetes application platform solution designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments. This advisory contains the container images for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.15.58. See the following advisory for the RPM packages for this release: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2025:16158 Space precludes documenting all of the container images in this advisory. See the following Release Notes documentation, which will be updated shortly for this release, for details about these changes: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.15/html/release_notes/ Security Fix(es): * golang.org/x/crypto/ssh: Misuse of ServerConfig.PublicKeyCallback may cause authorization bypass in golang.org/x/crypto (CVE-2024-45337) * golang.org/x/crypto/ssh: Denial of Service in the Key Exchange of golang.org/x/crypto/ssh (CVE-2025-22869) * github.com/golang/glog: Vulnerability when creating log files in github.com/golang/glog (CVE-2024-45339) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. To check for available updates, use the OpenShift CLI (oc) or web console. Instructions for upgrading a cluster are available at https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.15/html-single/updating_clusters/index#updating-cluster-cli.

Impact

The vulnerability may allow an attacker to bypass authorization checks in applications that misuse the ServerConfig.PublicKeyCallback during SSH authentication. This could lead to unauthorized privilege escalation or access to sensitive data if the application relies on insecure logic for authorization decisions. However, properly implemented systems that do not misuse this callback remain unaffected. The issue does not directly enable unauthorized access without the presence of insecure application logic. No known active exploitation has been reported.

Summary

CVE-2024-45337 is a vulnerability in the golang.org/x/crypto/ssh library where misuse of the ServerConfig.PublicKeyCallback callback can lead to authorization bypass. Specifically, if an application or library incorrectly assumes the order or state of public keys during SSH authentication, it may make authorization decisions based on a key for which the attacker does not control the private key. This flaw does not directly allow unauthorized access but introduces a risk if the application logic is insecure. Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.15.58 includes updated container images that fix this and other vulnerabilities. Red Hat has rated this vulnerability as important and advises upgrading to the fixed release. The vulnerability affects versions >=4.15.0 and <4.15.58. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 & 9 and some related projects are not affected as they do not call the vulnerable function. No known exploits in the wild have been reported. Mitigation options are limited and do not meet Red Hat's criteria for deployment; thus, upgrading is the recommended solution.

CWE-285Improper Authorization (opens in a new tab)
Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighOWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product does not perform or incorrectly performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design
Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
Architecture and Design
Ensure that you perform access control checks related to your business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that you apply to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.

CWE-770Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #25
The product allocates a reusable resource or group of resources on behalf of an actor without imposing any intended restrictions on the size or number of resources that can be allocated.
Requirements
Clearly specify the minimum and maximum expectations for capabilities, and dictate which behaviors are acceptable when resource allocation reaches limits.
Architecture and Design
Limit the amount of resources that are accessible to unprivileged users. Set per-user limits for resources. Allow the system administrator to define these limits. Be careful to avoid CWE-410.
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.

Base weakness
The product receives input that is expected to be well-formed - i.e., to comply with a certain syntax - but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input complies with the syntax.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.

Class weakness
The product does not properly control situations in which an adversary can cause the product to consume or produce excessive resources without requiring the adversary to invest equivalent work or otherwise prove authorization, i.e., the adversary's influence is "asymmetric."
Architecture and Design
An application must make resources available to a client commensurate with the client's access level.
Architecture and Design
An application must, at all times, keep track of allocated resources and meter their usage appropriately.
System Configuration
Consider disabling resource-intensive algorithms on the server side, such as Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
