Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 12 Nov 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 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.

AI-suggested

Red Hat has released updated OpenShift Virtualization images (4.13.11 and 4.16.7) and Go toolset packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 that fix this vulnerability. Users should apply these updates as soon as possible. Detailed update instructions are available at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. Ensure all previously released errata relevant to your system are applied before updating. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor.

Description

OpenShift Virtualization is Red Hat's virtualization solution designed for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. This advisory contains OpenShift Virtualization 4.16.7 images. kubevirt-ssp-operator-rhel9-container: Non-linear parsing of case-insensitive content in golang.org/x/net/html (CVE-2024-45338) kubevirt-tekton-tasks-create-datavolume-rhel9-container: Non-linear parsing of case-insensitive content in golang.org/x/net/html (CVE-2024-45338) kubevirt-tekton-tasks-disk-virt-customize-rhel9-container: Non-linear parsing of case-insensitive content in golang.org/x/net/html (CVE-2024-45338) kubevirt-template-validator-rhel9-container: Non-linear parsing of case-insensitive content in golang.org/x/net/html (CVE-2024-45338) vm-console-proxy-rhel9-container: Non-linear parsing of case-insensitive content in golang.org/x/net/html (CVE-2024-45338) kubevirt: net/http: Denial of service due to improper 100-continue handling in net/http (CVE-2024-24791)

Impact

The vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a denial of service by exploiting improper handling of HTTP 100-continue requests in the net/http package. This can result in service disruption or resource exhaustion in affected Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization deployments and related Go toolset components. No evidence of active exploitation has been reported, but the impact is rated as high due to potential service availability issues.

Summary

CVE-2024-24791 is a denial of service vulnerability in the net/http package caused by improper handling of HTTP 100-continue requests. This flaw can lead to resource exhaustion or service disruption in applications using the affected Go libraries. The vulnerability impacts Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization images, including versions 4.13.11 and 4.16.7, as well as related Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Go toolset packages. Red Hat has issued security advisories (RHSA-2024:6912 and RHSA-2025:3973) providing updated images and packages that address this issue. The advisories also include fixes for other Go-related vulnerabilities. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild.

CWE-20Improper Input Validation (opens in a new tab)
Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #18OWASP Top 10 A05:2025: Injection (opens in a new tab)
The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Attack Surface Reduction
Consider using language-theoretic security (LangSec) techniques that characterize inputs using a formal language and build "recognizers" for that language. This effectively requires parsing to be a distinct layer that effectively enforces a boundary between raw input and internal data representations, instead of…
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use an input validation framework such as Struts or the OWASP ESAPI Validation API. Note that using a framework does not automatically address all input validation problems; be mindful of weaknesses that could arise from misusing the framework itself (CWE-1173).
Architecture and Design · Implementation · Attack Surface Reduction
Understand all the potential areas where untrusted inputs can enter the product, including but not limited to: parameters or arguments, cookies, anything read from the network, environment variables, reverse DNS lookups, query results, request headers, URL components, e-mail, files, filenames, databases, and any…

CWE-674Uncontrolled Recursion (opens in a new tab)
Class weakness
The product does not properly control the amount of recursion that takes place, consuming excessive resources, such as allocated memory or the program stack.
Implementation
Ensure that an end condition will be reached under all logic conditions. The end condition may include checking against the depth of recursion and exiting with an error if the recursion goes too deep. The complexity of the end condition contributes to the effectiveness of this action.
Implementation
Increase the stack size.

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.

CWE-1325Improperly Controlled Sequential Memory Allocation (opens in a new tab)
Base weakness
The product manages a group of objects or resources and performs a separate memory allocation for each object, but it does not properly limit the total amount of memory that is consumed by all of the combined objects.
Implementation
Ensure multiple allocations of the same kind of object are properly tracked - possibly across multiple sessions, requests, or messages. Define an appropriate strategy for handling requests that exceed the limit, and consider supporting a configuration option so that the administrator can extend the amount of memory to…
Operation
Run the program using system-provided resource limits for memory. This might still cause the program to crash or exit, but the impact to the rest of the system will be minimized.
