Descriptions

Forman before 1.7.4 does not verify SSL certificates for LDAP connections, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof LDAP servers via a crafted certificate.

Vulnerabilidad en Foreman en versiones anteriores a 1.7.4, no verifica certificados SSL para conexiones LDAP, lo que permite a atacantes man-in-the-middle suplantar servidores LDAP a través de un certificado manipulado.

It was found that when making an SSL connection to an LDAP authentication source in Foreman, the remote server certificate was accepted without any verification against known certificate authorities, potentially making TLS connections vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.
