{"id":"UBUNTU-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":"2026-06-15T20:15:15.165188972Z","published":"2026-05-26T17:16:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-48697"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-48697"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-48697"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://lorikeetsecurity.com/blog/fastnetmon-cve-2026-48697-missing-tls-validation"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/pavel-odintsov/fastnetmon"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/pavel-odintsov/fastnetmon/blob/master/src/fast_library.cpp"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"fastnetmon","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/fastnetmon?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.1.3+dfsg-3","1.1.3+dfsg-4","1.1.3+dfsg-6build1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"fastnetmon","binary_version":"1.1.3+dfsg-6build1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-48697.json"}},{"package":{"name":"fastnetmon","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/fastnetmon?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Ffocal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.1.4-1","1.1.4-1build3","1.1.4-1build4","1.1.4-1build5","1.1.4-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.1.4-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","binary_name":"fastnetmon"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-48697.json"}},{"package":{"name":"fastnetmon","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/fastnetmon?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fnoble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.2.5-1","1.2.6-1","1.2.6-1build1","1.2.6-1build2","1.2.6-1build3","1.2.6-1build4","1.2.6-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.2.6-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","binary_name":"fastnetmon"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-48697.json"}},{"package":{"name":"fastnetmon","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/fastnetmon?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.2.8-1build1","1.2.8-1build2","1.2.8+git20250911-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.2.8+git20250911-1","binary_name":"fastnetmon"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-48697.json"}},{"package":{"name":"fastnetmon","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/fastnetmon?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fresolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.2.8+git20250911-1","1.2.8+git20250911-1build1","1.2.8+git20250911-1build2","1.2.8+git20250911-2","1.2.8+git20250911-2ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"fastnetmon","binary_version":"1.2.8+git20250911-2ubuntu0.1~esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-48697.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
