Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** A flaw was found in the automation-controller instance<br />
install-bundle endpoint. When a System Administrator downloads<br />
an execution/hop node&#39;s install bundle, the controller signs an<br />
X.509 certificate with the receptor mesh certificate authority<br />
in which the Common Name, DNS subject-alternative-name, and<br />
receptor node-id are taken verbatim from the caller-chosen<br />
instance hostname, with a hard-coded ten-year validity, a random<br />
serial, and no issuance log or revocation list. Because the<br />
hostname charset validator is case-insensitive while the<br />
uniqueness validator is case-sensitive, an administrator can<br />
register a case variant of an existing control node&#39;s hostname<br />
and obtain a mesh-CA-signed certificate that TLS peers, which<br />
match hostnames case-insensitively, accept as that control node.<br />
In managed/hosted deployments — where the customer holds<br />
controller superuser but the platform operator runs the mesh —<br />
this yields a long-lived, non-revocable mesh peer credential and,<br />
with an on-path position, TLS impersonation or interception of<br />
control/hybrid mesh nodes. It does not grant direct remote code<br />
execution, because receptor work submission is gated by a<br />
separate signing key not included in the bundle.
