Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 13 May 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 11.0.

AI-suggested

Red Hat has released an official security update for podman in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 that addresses these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the update as described in Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:7462 and the referenced article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

The podman tool manages pods, container images, and containers. It is part of the libpod library, which is for applications that use container pods. Container pods is a concept in Kubernetes. Security Fix(es): * go-jose: Go JOSE's Parsing Vulnerable to Denial of Service (CVE-2025-27144) * golang.org/x/crypto/ssh: Denial of Service in the Key Exchange of golang.org/x/crypto/ssh (CVE-2025-22869) 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.

Impact

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service condition in applications using podman, potentially disrupting container management operations. No evidence of active exploitation in the wild is reported. The impact is limited to service availability degradation rather than code execution or data compromise.

Summary

The podman tool, used for managing container pods and images, is affected by two denial of service vulnerabilities. CVE-2025-27144 involves a parsing issue in the Go JOSE library, and CVE-2025-22869 involves a denial of service in the key exchange of golang.org/x/crypto/ssh. Red Hat has released an update for podman in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 to address these vulnerabilities. The advisory references Red Hat Product Security's errata RHSA-2025:7462 for detailed information and remediation instructions.

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.
