      <title>GHSA-x5hg-x4gv-j98m — OpenSearch has ineffective TLS certificate hostname verification</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/ghsa-x5hg-x4gv-j98m</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Maven: org.opensearch.plugin:opensearch-security&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Description&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A regression was introduced in OpenSearch 2.18.0 that caused the `plugins.security.ssl.transport.enforce_hostname_verification` setting to be ineffective. When this setting was enabled, OpenSearch did not verify that the hostname in a connecting node&amp;#39;s TLS certificate matched the hostname of the connection. This could allow a node with a valid certificate (signed by the cluster&amp;#39;s trusted CA) but an incorrect hostname SAN to join the cluster.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Impact&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clusters running affected versions with hostname verification enabled did not receive the expected protection from this setting. A node presenting a certificate signed by the cluster&amp;#39;s trusted CA could join the cluster regardless of whether its hostname SAN matched. This regression does not affect certificate validation itself — only the additional hostname verification check.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Patches&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This issue is fixed in OpenSearch 2.19.4 and 3.3.0.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Workarounds&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Use more restrictive values for `plugins.security.nodes_dn` to limit which certificates are accepted for node-to-node communication.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
