Amazon Elastic Load Balancing API Tools does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate, related to overriding the default JDK X509TrustManager.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw means Amazon Elastic Load Balancing API Tools could accept a valid TLS certificate even when it belongs to the wrong server. An attacker positioned between the tool and AWS could impersonate an SSL endpoint and intercept or alter traffic. The source bundle does not provide severity, affected versions, or a named fix. Exposure is most likely where legacy Amazon Elastic Load Balancing API Tools are still used, especially from networks where traffic interception is plausible. The bundle does not identify affected versions or deployment patterns. Treat this as a legacy tooling risk with potentially serious credential and control-plane implications, but incomplete public scoring. Prioritize discovery and vendor-confirmed remediation over emergency response unless the tools are still active in exposed environments. Mitigation focus: Inventory any Amazon Elastic Load Balancing API Tools still in use.; Check AWS or vendor guidance for affected versions and fixed replacements.; Prioritize retiring legacy tools that lack TLS hostname verification..
