Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 4 Sep 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.

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 4.14.56.

AI-suggested

Red Hat has released updated container images in OpenShift Container Platform 4.14.56 that address this vulnerability. Users should upgrade to version 4.14.56 or later using the OpenShift CLI or web console as per Red Hat's upgrade instructions. No other effective mitigations meeting Red Hat's criteria are currently available. Monitoring for updates and applying the official fix is the recommended course of action.

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 4.14.56. There are no RPM packages for this release. 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/4.14/html/release_notes/ Security Fix(es): * golang-jwt/jwt: jwt-go allows excessive memory allocation during header parsing (CVE-2025-30204) * 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/4.14/html-single/updating_clusters/index#updating-cluster-cli.

Impact

An attacker with local access and low privileges may overwrite sensitive files by exploiting symbolic link vulnerabilities in the logging mechanism. This can lead to unauthorized modification of files, potentially bypassing security mechanisms and compromising system integrity and confidentiality. The vulnerability does not impact availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Summary

CVE-2024-45339 is a vulnerability in the golang 'glog' logging library used within Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. It allows an attacker with local access and low privileges to overwrite sensitive files by planting symbolic links in writable directories, exploiting the predictable log file paths. This improper link resolution before file access (CWE-59) can lead to confidentiality and integrity breaches. Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.14.56 contains updated container images that fix this vulnerability. The vulnerability is rated with a CVSS base score of 7.1 by Red Hat, indicating high severity. No mitigation other than upgrading is currently recommended by Red Hat.

CWE-59Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: MediumOWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource.

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.

Consider disabling resource-intensive algorithms on the server side, such as Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
