CVE-2023-31421

Summary

CVE-2023-31421 is a vulnerability affecting Beats, Elastic Agent, APM Server, and Fleet Server when used as TLS clients. These applications fail to validate the server certificate's IP address against the target IP address during the validation process. As a result, even though certificate signature validation is performed, connections are not blocked as expected when the IP addresses do not match. This issue could potentially lead to man-in-the-middle attacks and unintended data exposure.
