  • kata-containers.src as a component of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4
Summary
A flaw was found in Apache Thrift Python bindings. This vulnerability, stemming from improper validation of certificates with host mismatch, could allow a remote attacker to intercept and access sensitive information. The issue occurs when the Python client fails to adequately verify the server's certificate against its hostname, potentially enabling a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack and leading to information disclosure.

What, why and how

Improper Validation of Certificate with Host Mismatch vulnerability in Apache Thrift Python bindings. This issue affects Apache Thrift: before 0.24.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.24.0, which fixes the issue. This replaces CVE-2026-41603

What

Improper Validation of Certificate with Host Mismatch vulnerability in Apache Thrift Python bindings. This issue affects Apache Thrift: before 0.24.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.24.0, which fixes the issue. This replaces CVE-2026-41603

Why

The product communicates with a host that provides a certificate, but the product does not properly ensure that the certificate is actually associated with that host.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
a network path → Improper Validation of Certificate with Host Mismatch → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

CWE-297 ↗

CWE-297: Improper Validation of Certificate with Host Mismatch. The product communicates with a host that provides a certificate, but the product does not properly ensure that the certificate is actually associated with that host.

?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
