CVE-2024-23656

Dex 2.37.0 is discarding TLSconfig and always serves deprecated TLS 1.0/1.1 and insecure ciphers

Published Jan 25, 2024 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Dex is an identity service that uses OpenID Connect to drive authentication for other apps. Dex 2.37.0 serves HTTPS with insecure TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1. `cmd/dex/serve.go` line 425 seemingly sets TLS 1.2 as minimum version, but the whole `tlsConfig` is ignored after `TLS cert reloader` was introduced in v2.37.0. Configured cipher suites are not respected either. This issue is fixed in Dex 2.38.0.
