CRE-2025-0033 Low Impact: 7/10 Mitigation: 4/10	OpenTelemetry Collector refuses to scrape due to memory pressure	The OpenTelemetry Collector may refuse to ingest metrics during a Prometheus scrape if it exceeds its configured memory limits. When the `memory_limiter` processor is enabled, the Collector actively drops data to prevent out-of-memory errors, resulting in log messages indicating that data was refused due to high memory usage.

CRE-2025-0070 Critical Impact: 10/10 Mitigation: 6/10	Kafka Under-Replicated Partitions Crisis	Critical Kafka cluster degradation detected: Multiple partitions have lost replicas due to broker failure, resulting in an under-replicated state. This pattern indicates a broker has become unavailable, causing partition leadership changes and In-Sync Replica (ISR) shrinkage across multiple topics.

CRE-2025-0073 High Impact: 9/10 Mitigation: 6/10	Redis Rejects Writes Due to Reaching 'maxmemory' Limit	The Redis instance has reached its configured 'maxmemory' limit. Because its active memory management policy does not permit the eviction of existing keys to free up space (as is the case when the 'noeviction' policy is in effect, which is often the default), Redis rejects new write commands by sending an "OOM command not allowed" error to the client.
