What is CVE-2025-59836?

The Omni Resource Service, which manages Kubernetes deployments across various infrastructures, contains a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated users to induce a server panic and result in a denial of service. This issue arises from the handling of empty metadata fields when creating or updating resources via API endpoints. The function responsible, isSensitiveSpec, fails to verify the integrity of metadata before invoking the CreateResource method, leading to accidental segmentation faults when the metadata is nil. This flaw is rectified in versions 1.1.5 and 1.0.2.

Affected Version(s)

omni >= 1.1.0-beta.0, < 1.1.5 < 1.1.0-beta.0, 1.1.5

omni < 1.0.2 < 1.0.2
