Summary
Etcd Gateway TLS authentication only applies to endpoints detected in DNS SRV records
Details

Vulnerability type

Cryptography

Workarounds

Refer to the gateway documentation. The vulnerability was spotted due to unclear documentation of how the gateway handles endpoints validation.

Detail

When starting a gateway, TLS authentication will only be attempted on endpoints identified in DNS SRV records for a given domain, which occurs in the discoverEndpoints function. No authentication is performed against endpoints provided in the --endpoints flag. The auditors has noted that appropriate documentation of this validation functionality plus deprecation of this misleading functionality is an acceptable path forward.
