What is CVE-2024-10295?

A vulnerability exists in Red Hat's Gateway impacting its ability to authenticate requests correctly. When a non-base64 encoded basic authentication header contains special characters, the APICast service fails to carry out the necessary authentication checks due to an oversight in the base64 decoding process. This flaw enables unauthorized users to access backend systems by circumventing standard authentication mechanisms, exposing critical resources to potential threats.
