Checkmk: Improper certificate validation in bundled root CA stores
Checkmk trusts a root CA in its bundled CA stores (certifi and, according to some sources, webpki-roots) that chains to eMudhra (emSign) intermediate certificates whose private keys have been compromised. An attacker holding one of these keys could issue certificates for arbitrary host names that would be accepted as valid. Exploitation requires that the attacker can also intercept traffic between Checkmk and a monitored HTTPS endpoint, for example through a man-in-the-middle position.
