CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability arises when kuma-dp is initiated against an HTTPS control plane without a CA certificate, leading to TLS peer verification being disabled. This allows an on-path attacker to intercept the dataplane authentication token, potentially enabling them to impersonate the control plane and inject malicious configurations into the proxy. Organizations utilizing kuma-dp in their network architecture should prioritize addressing this issue to safeguard against potential unauthorized access and configuration manipulation.

Original NVD Description
When kuma-dp is started against an HTTPS control plane and the operator did not pass a CA certificate, the data plane connects with TLS peer verification disabled, and the dataplane authentication token is sent over that unverified connection. An on-path actor can intercept the dataplane authentication token and impersonate the control plane to the data plane, injecting a forged bootstrap configuration and taking over the proxy.
