Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Eclipse aeriOS (affected version not known). It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects some unknown functionality of the component KrakenD. The manipulation of the argument disable_jwk_security with an unknown input leads to a certificate validation vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-295. The product does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate. As an impact it is known to affect integrity. CVE summarizes:

In the current development version of Eclipse aeriOS, which has not yet had an official release, the KrakenD instance included in the API Gateway component had the disable_jwk_security parameter hard-coded to true, with no option to override it through the Helm chart configuration. This setting disables TLS certificate verification when KrakenD retrieves the JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) used to validate bearer tokens, potentially allowing an attacker with the ability to intercept this communication to provide a malicious JWKS and compromise token validation. The issue has been addressed by making the parameter configurable through the boolean Helm value krakend.config.disableJwkSecurity and setting its default value to false, ensuring that TLS certificate verification is enabled by default.

The advisory is shared for download at gitlab.eclipse.org. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-82955 since 08/31/2026. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1587.003.

Applying the patch e680c69c34b82db4944517198330cc447a1e8f98 is able to eliminate this problem.
