Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Progress OpenEdge up to 11.7.19/12.2.14. This affects an unknown code of the component TLS Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a certificate host validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-297. The product communicates with a host that provides a certificate, but the product does not properly ensure that the certificate is actually associated with that host. This is going to have an impact on integrity. The summary by CVE is:

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.

It is possible to read the advisory at community.progress.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2024-7346 since 07/31/2024. The exploitability is told to be difficult.
