Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB

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.

What to do

Upgrade Red Hat to 4.15.6.

Impact

The kubevirt-csi vulnerability (CVE-2024-1725) could allow unauthorized access to the root node of the HyperConverged Platform, potentially compromising system integrity. The golang-protobuf vulnerability (CVE-2024-24786) can cause denial of service via an infinite loop during JSON unmarshaling, impacting application stability. Both vulnerabilities are rated with high importance by Red Hat Product Security.

Summary

This advisory covers security updates in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.15.6, specifically fixing two vulnerabilities: CVE-2024-1725 in kubevirt-csi, which permits access to the HyperConverged Platform's root node through PersistentVolume, and CVE-2024-24786 in golang-protobuf's protojson.Unmarshal function, which can enter an infinite loop when processing certain malformed JSON. The update includes container image fixes and is intended for on-premise or private cloud deployments of OpenShift Container Platform 4.15. Users should upgrade to 4.15.6 to apply these security patches.
