{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-48697","details":"FastNetMon Community Edition through 1.2.9 does not verify TLS certificates on outbound HTTPS connections. The execute_web_request_secure() function in src/fast_library.cpp creates a boost::asio::ssl::context with tls_client mode and calls set_default_verify_paths() to load CA certificates, but never calls set_verify_mode(boost::asio::ssl::verify_peer). Without this call, OpenSSL performs the TLS handshake without validating the server's certificate chain, making all HTTPS connections vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. This function is used for telemetry reporting to community-stats.fastnetmon.com, which sends system information including CPU model, kernel version, traffic statistics, and software configuration. An attacker can intercept and modify this data or redirect it to a malicious server.","modified":"2026-10-01T03:03:24.300283665Z","published":"2026-05-26T17:16:53.920Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-48697"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-48697"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"fastnetmon","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/fastnetmon?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.2.4-2","1.2.4-2+deb12u1","1.2.5-1","1.2.5-2","1.2.5-2~bpo12+1","1.2.6-1","1.2.6-1~bpo12+1","1.2.7-1","1.2.7-1~bpo12+1","1.2.8+git20250911-1","1.2.8+git20250911-2","1.2.8-1","1.2.8-1~bpo12+1","1.2.9-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-48697.json"}},{"package":{"name":"fastnetmon","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/fastnetmon?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.2.8+git20250911-1","1.2.8+git20250911-2","1.2.8-1","1.2.9-0+deb13u1","1.2.9-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-48697.json"}},{"package":{"name":"fastnetmon","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/fastnetmon?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.2.8+git20250911-1","1.2.8+git20250911-2","1.2.8-1","1.2.9-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-48697.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"}]}
