Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-03-21 06:02:30 UTC 
The OpenShift Lightspeed Service does not enforce authentication when logging metrics for API requests, including those made to non-existent endpoints. This allows unauthenticated users to send a large volume of requests to arbitrary, non-existent endpoints, causing excessive metric entries. As a result, this behavior can lead to high CPU and memory usage, degraded application performance, and potential denial of service  conditions for monitoring and logging components.
