What is CVE-2025-0638?

A vulnerability in Routinator arises from the initial code failing to adequately validate file names within its manifest. While later code assumes this validation occurs, it encounters critical errors upon finding illegal characters in the file names, which leads to application crashes. This flaw is indicative of insufficient input validation, thereby posing operational risks for users relying on Routinator for secure operations. Proper validation measures are essential to prevent such issues.
