Summary

Eclipse ioFog Operator versions 3.8.0 before 3.9.2 disable TLS certificate verification when they contact the Controller API and when they log in to an external OIDC issuer. An on-path attacker can present any certificate, capture the OAuth client secret or the Controller bootstrap admin password, and supply an access token that the operator stores for later Controller API calls. This is CWE-295, improper certificate validation.

Description from the CNA

In Eclipse ioFog Operator versions 3.8.0 before 3.9.2, TLS certificate verification is disabled when the operator contacts the Controller API and when it logs in to an external OIDC issuer. An on-path attacker can present any certificate, capture the OAuth client secret (external mode) or the Controller bootstrap admin password (embedded mode with Controller HTTPS enabled), and supply the access token the operator stores for later Controller API calls. v3.8 removed Keycloak. The exposed credential is not a Keycloak realm-admin secret.
