Gnome Online Accounts (GOA) 3.6.x before 3.6.3 and 3.7.x before 3.7.91, does not properly validate SSL certificates when creating accounts for providers who use the libsoup library, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain sensitive information such as credentials by sniffing the network. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-0240.

Security readout for executives and security teams

GNOME Online Accounts had an SSL certificate validation flaw during account creation for providers using libsoup. A person positioned on the network could intercept the setup flow and capture sensitive data, including credentials. The issue affected GOA 3.6.x before 3.6.3 and 3.7.x before 3.7.91. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux desktop environments running GNOME Online Accounts 3.6.x before 3.6.3 or 3.7.x before 3.7.91, especially where users created online accounts over untrusted or intercepted networks. Treat this as high priority for legacy desktop environments because credential exposure is the business impact. For modern fleets, urgency depends on whether vulnerable GOA versions still exist; validate through inventory rather than assuming exposure. Mitigation focus: Upgrade GNOME Online Accounts to 3.6.3, 3.7.91, or a vendor-fixed package.; Review Ubuntu and openSUSE advisories for distribution-specific package guidance.; Prioritize legacy GNOME desktop images and long-lived workstations for inventory review..
