CVE-2019-7615 · GHSA-35j2-p8fh-x966
- Affected
- RubyGems elastic-apm < 2.9.0
- Fixed in
- 2.9.0· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- A TLS certificate validation flaw was found in Elastic APM agent for Ruby versions before 2.9.0. When specifying a trusted server CA certificate via the servercacert setting, the Ruby agent would not properly verify the certificate returned by the APM server. This could result in a man in the middle style attack against the Ruby agent.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 2.9.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
