CVE-2024-7346

Client connections using default TLS certificates from OpenEdge may bypass TLS host name validation

Published Sep 3, 2024 CVSS 3.1 · 7.2 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Host name validation for TLS certificates is bypassed when the installed OpenEdge default certificates are used to perform the TLS handshake for a networked connection.  This has been corrected so that default certificates are no longer capable of overriding host name validation and will need to be replaced where full TLS certificate validation is needed for network security.  The existing certificates should be replaced with CA-signed certificates from a recognized certificate authority that contain the necessary information to support host name validation.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Use the 12.8.0 or above LTS release where the vulnerability does not exist


Vendor Workaround

Replace all use of default OpenEdge TLS certificates with a CA-signed certificate from a recognized certificate authority that contains the necessary information to support host name validation
