CVE-2024-28872

8.9 · HIGH

The TLS certificate validation code is flawed.

Published Jul 11, 2024CWE-295EPSS 0.29%

Overview

CVE-2024-28872 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 11, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.9 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.9, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

The TLS certificate validation code is flawed. An attacker can obtain a TLS certificate from the Stork server and use it to connect to the Stork agent. Once this connection is established with the valid certificate, the attacker can send malicious commands to a monitored service (Kea or BIND 9), possibly resulting in confidential data loss and/or denial of service. It should be noted that this vulnerability is not related to BIND 9 or Kea directly, and only customers using the Stork management tool are potentially affected.

This issue affects Stork versions 0.15.0 through 1.15.0.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
