Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 6 Feb 2025
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 4.14.46.

AI-suggested

A fix is available in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform version 4.14.46. Users should upgrade to this version using the OpenShift CLI or web console as soon as the updated packages and images are available in their release channel. Detailed upgrade instructions are provided by Red Hat in their official documentation. No additional mitigation steps are indicated beyond applying the 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 RPM packages for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.14.46. See the following advisory for the container images for this release: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:0840 Security Fix(es): * jinja2: Jinja has a sandbox breakout through malicious filenames (CVE-2024-56201) * jinja2: Jinja has a sandbox breakout through indirect reference to format method (CVE-2024-56326) 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.openshift.com/container-platform/4.14/updating/updating_a_cluster/updating-cluster-cli.html

Impact

The vulnerabilities allow sandbox breakout in the Jinja2 template engine, which could lead to unauthorized code execution or compromise of the application environment running OpenShift Container Platform 4.14 prior to version 4.14.46. The security impact is rated as important/high by Red Hat Product Security. No known exploits in the wild have been reported at the time of this advisory.

Summary

This advisory addresses two security vulnerabilities in the Jinja2 template engine used by Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.14. The first vulnerability (CVE-2024-56201) allows a sandbox breakout through malicious filenames. The second vulnerability (CVE-2024-56326) allows a sandbox breakout through indirect reference to the format method. Both vulnerabilities could potentially allow an attacker to escape the sandbox restrictions imposed by Jinja2, leading to unauthorized code execution or other impacts. The vulnerabilities are fixed in OpenShift Container Platform version 4.14.46. The advisory recommends upgrading to this version to apply the fixes.

CWE-150Improper Neutralization of Escape, Meta, or Control Sequences (opens in a new tab)
Variant weakness
The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could be interpreted as escape, meta, or control character sequences when they are sent to a downstream component.
Developers should anticipate that escape, meta and control characters/sequences will be injected/removed/manipulated in the input vectors of their product. Use an appropriate combination of denylists and allowlists to ensure only valid, expected and appropriate input is processed by the system.
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.
Implementation · Output Encoding
While it is risky to use dynamically-generated query strings, code, or commands that mix control and data together, sometimes it may be unavoidable. Properly quote arguments and escape any special characters within those arguments.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: MediumCWE Top 25 (2025): #10OWASP Top 10 A05:2025: Injection (opens in a new tab)
The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment.
Architecture and Design · Refactoring
Refactor your program so that you do not have to dynamically generate code.
Architecture and Design
Run your code in a "jail" or similar sandbox environment that enforces strict boundaries between the process and the operating system. This may effectively restrict which code can be executed by your product.
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.
