CVE-2026-1531

Foreman-kubevirt: foreman_kubevirt: man-in-the-middle due to insecure default ssl verification

State: Published
Severity: 8.1 High
Published: Feb 2, 2026
Updated: Jul 15, 2026
Reserved: Jan 28, 2026

Description

A flaw was found in foreman_kubevirt. When configuring the connection to OpenShift, the system disables SSL verification if a Certificate Authority (CA) certificate is not explicitly set. This insecure default allows a remote attacker, capable of intercepting network traffic between Satellite and OpenShift, to perform a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack. Such an attack could lead to the disclosure or alteration of sensitive information.
