CVE-2017-8444
If an attacker is able to man in the middle (MITM) the traffic between the client-forwarder and ZooKeeper they could potentially obtain sensitive data.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.57%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
The client-forwarder in Elastic Cloud Enterprise versions prior to 1.0.2 do not properly encrypt traffic to ZooKeeper. If an attacker is able to man in the middle (MITM) the traffic between the client-forwarder and ZooKeeper they could potentially obtain sensitive data.
