Insecure digital certificates - Chain of trust

Description

Due to improper implementation of the TrustManager checkServerTrusted method, methods are created that do not throw a certificate exception when invalid certificates are detected. Thanks to this it is possible to accept any incoming certificate and materialize Man in The Middle attacks.

Impact

Execute Man-in-the-middle attacks.

Recommendation

Define a processing logic for invalid certificates that includes rejecting the connection to such certificates and storing the technical details of the event in logs.

Threat

Unauthorized attacker from intranet

Expected Remediation Time

⌚ 45 minutes.
