Icinga

A critical vulnerability in Icinga 2 monitoring systems allows attackers to bypass certificate validation and obtain legitimate certificates for impersonating trusted network nodes. This could lead to the impersonation of trusted cluster nodes, including masters and satellites. Attackers can supply corrupted configuration updates, execute arbitrary commands on remote systems, or extract sensitive monitoring data. The flaw affects installations built with older OpenSSL versions and has a CVSS score of 9.3.
