A flaw was found in foreman_kubevirt. When configuring the connection to OpenShift, the system disables SSL verification if a Certificate Authority (CA) certificate is not explicitly set. This insecure default allows a remote attacker, capable of intercepting network traffic between Satellite and OpenShift, to perform a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack. Such an attack could lead to the disclosure or alteration of sensitive information.

Fixes

Solution

No solution given by the vendor.


Workaround

To mitigate this issue, ensure that a Certificate Authority (CA) certificate is explicitly configured when setting up the connection to OpenShift in foreman_kubevirt. This will enable SSL verification and prevent Man-in-the-Middle attacks. Refer to the foreman_kubevirt documentation for specific instructions on configuring CA certificates. A restart or service reload may be required for the changes to take effect.
