What is CVE-2024-7346?

CVE-2024-7346 is a high-severity vulnerability in Progress OpenEdge, published on 3 Sep 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

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.
