Missing hostname validation in Kroxylicious
CVE-2024-8285 · GHSA-h83p-72jv-g7vp
- Affected
- Maven io.kroxylicious:kroxylicious-runtime < 0.8.0
- Fixed in
- 0.8.0· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- A flaw was found in Kroxylicious. When establishing the connection with the upstream Kafka server using a TLS secured connection, Kroxylicious fails to properly verify the server's hostname, resulting in an insecure connection. For a successful attack to be performed, the attacker needs to perform a Man-in-the-Middle attack or compromise any external systems, such as DNS or network routing configuration. This issue is considered a high complexity attack, with additional high privileges required, as the attack would need access to the Kroxylicious configuration or a peer system. The result of a successful attack impacts both data integrity and confidentiality.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.8.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
