Summary
Konflux-ci from 0.2.2-rc.2 is affected. The UI proxy turns off TLS certificate verification for connections to internal backend services on clusters without a default service certificate authority, which is improper certificate validation (CWE-295). An adjacent network attacker who can intercept traffic can capture the proxy's cluster-scoped token, which carries user impersonation rights, and gain full administrative control of the cluster.

Description from the CNA
A flaw was found in konflux-ci. This vulnerability allows privilege escalation when the user interface proxy automatically disables Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate verification for connections to internal backend services in environments lacking a default service certificate authority. Because the proxy attaches a cluster-scoped authentication token with user impersonation rights to these requests, an adjacent network attacker capable of intercepting traffic can capture the credentials to gain full administrative control of the cluster.
