The advisory mentions CVE-2024-10005, a vulnerability in HashiCorp Consul due to lack of path normalization in L7 traffic intentions that could allow permission bypass.

No patches or fixes for this CVE are included or required in this release. The advisory also lists multiple other CVEs but does not specify fixes for them in this release. Users should migrate from devfile v1 to v2 and maintain supported OpenShift versions to receive updates.
