REDHAT-BUG-1436262
First published: Mon Mar 27 2017(Updated: )
Tomas Strachota of Red Hat reports: It was found that Hammer CLI, a CLI utility for Foreman, did not explicitly set the verify_ssl flag for apipie-bindings that disable it by default. As a result the server certificates are not checked and connections are prone to man-in-the-middle attacks.
