HTTP Configuration and Encryption in Transit

Published Oct 16, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 9.6 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description

In such cases, an on-path threat actor with a man-in-the-middle network position could intercept, modify, or replay agent-server traffic. Additionally, the encryption method used to obfuscate some communications over the HTTP channel is updated in the Automate 2025.9 patch to enforce HTTPS for all agent communications.
