Title
Maestro: maestro: grpc broker has no auth interceptor and client mtls is optional
Summary
A flaw was found in the maestro gRPC broker. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker, with a valid client certificate, to bypass authentication. This bypass enables the attacker to subscribe to other consumers' event streams, leading to unauthorized information disclosure, or to publish forged agent status, which can compromise data integrity.
