What is CVE-2024-28872?

CVE-2024-28872 is a high-severity vulnerability in ISC Stork, published on 11 Jul 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

The TLS certificate validation code is flawed. An attacker can obtain a TLS certificate from the Stork server and use it to connect to the Stork agent. Once this connection is established with the valid certificate, the attacker can send malicious commands to a monitored service (Kea or BIND 9), possibly resulting in confidential data loss and/or denial of service. It should be noted that this vulnerability is not related to BIND 9 or Kea directly, and only customers using the Stork management tool are potentially affected. This issue affects Stork versions 0.15.0 through 1.15.0.
