38th percentile - higher than 38% of all known CVEs

Summary

A flaw was found in the OpenShift Lightspeed Service, which is vulnerable to unauthenticated API request flooding. Repeated queries to non-existent endpoints inflate metrics storage and processing, potentially leading to monitoring system degradation and service unavailability.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability can be exploited by an external attacker to exhaust CPU, RAM, and disk space, impacting both application and cluster stability.

Recommendation

It is recommended to implement rate limiting for API requests and to monitor and analyze traffic to detect and block potential attacks.

Original NVD description (English source)

A flaw was found in the OpenShift Lightspeed Service, which is vulnerable to unauthenticated API request flooding. Repeated queries to non-existent endpoints inflate metrics storage and processing, consuming excessive resources. This issue can lead to monitoring system degradation, increased disk usage, and potential service unavailability. Since the issue does not require authentication, an external attacker can exhaust CPU, RAM, and disk space, impacting both application and cluster stability.
