CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability in go-micro prior to version 6.0.0 allows attackers to exploit improper certificate validation due to the default setting of InsecureSkipVerify being true. This can lead to man-in-the-middle attacks, enabling unauthorized interception and modification of gRPC transport, HTTP, RabbitMQ broker, and Consul or etcd registry traffic, potentially exposing sensitive authentication tokens and credentials. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of service impersonation and data compromise.

Original NVD Description
go-micro before 6.0.0 contains an improper certificate validation vulnerability that allows network attackers to impersonate services because the shared TLS helper sets InsecureSkipVerify to true by default. Man-in-the-middle attackers can present any certificate to intercept or modify gRPC transport, HTTP and RabbitMQ broker, and Consul or etcd registry traffic, including authentication tokens and credentials.
