Pulsar Brokers and Proxies create an internal Pulsar Admin Client that does not verify peer TLS certificates, even when <code>tlsAllowInsecureConnection</code> is disabled via configuration. The Pulsar Admin Client's intra-cluster and geo-replication HTTPS connections are vulnerable to man in the middle attacks, which could leak authentication data, configuration data, and any other data sent by these clients.</p><p>An attacker can only take advantage of this vulnerability by taking control of a machine 'between' the client and the server. The attacker must then actively manipulate traffic to perform the attack.</p><p>This issue affects Apache Pulsar Broker and Proxy versions 2.7.0 to 2.7.4; 2.8.0 to 2.8.3; 2.9.0 to 2.9.2; 2.10.0; 2.6.4 and earlier.</p><p>This issue has been assigned <a href="http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-33683" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CVE-2022-33683</a>.</p><h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="workaround">WORKAROUND:<a href="#workaround" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to WORKAROUND:" title="Direct link to WORKAROUND:"></a></h2><p>Any users running affected versions of the Pulsar Broker or Pulsar Proxy should rotate static authentication data vulnerable to man in the middle attacks used by these applications, including tokens and passwords.</p><p>2.7 users should upgrade Pulsar Brokers and Proxies to 2.7.5, and rotate vulnerable authentication data, including tokens and passwords.</p><p>2.8 users should upgrade Pulsar Brokers and Proxies to 2.8.4, and rotate vulnerable authentication data, including tokens and passwords.</p><p>2.9 users should upgrade Pulsar Brokers and Proxies to 2.9.3, and rotate vulnerable authentication data, including tokens and passwords.</p><p>2.10 users should upgrade Pulsar Brokers and Proxies to 2.10.1, and rotate vulnerable authentication data, including tokens and passwords.</p><p>Any users running Pulsar Brokers and Proxies for 2.6 and earlier should upgrade to one of the above patched versions, and rotate vulnerable authentication data, including tokens and passwords.</p><p>In addition to upgrading, it is also necessary to enable hostname verification to prevent man in the middle attacks.
