Summary

Contrast from 1.8.0 before 1.24.1 is affected. Its Coordinator peer recovery fails to confirm that the serving peer uses the same manifest generation, which is an improper verification flaw (CWE-345). An attacker with high privileges and write access to manifest history can replay a superseded history head so withdrawn workloads obtain trusted mesh certificates, or with the secret seed can disclose the Mesh CA key.
