{"schemaVersion":3,"id":"CVE-2026-90651","aliases":[],"status":"published","duplicateOf":null,"title":null,"description":"Socket Firewall (socketdev/socket-registry-firewall) in registry mode before 2.0.0 does not verify upstream TLS certificates by default. When the api_ssl_verify and upstream_ssl_verify configuration keys are omitted from socket.yml, the generated configuration sets SOCKET_API_SSL_VERIFY='false' and UPSTREAM_SSL_VERIFY='false', and the OpenResty/Lua HTTP client used for outbound requests accepts any certificate, including self-signed and otherwise untrusted certificates, without validating the chain. An attacker positioned to intercept traffic between Socket Firewall and the Socket API or an upstream package registry can present a crafted certificate and modify responses in transit, including substituting malicious package content or altering the allow/block decisions the firewall enforces. Setting api_ssl_verify: true and upstream_ssl_verify: true enables verification; however, in versions before 1.1.334, the generated nginx configuration did not emit lua_ssl_trusted_certificate, and thus verification could not be used successfully without manually patching the generated configuration. Version 2.0.0 changes the default for both settings to true.","dates":{"published":"2026-09-12T23:55:41.065Z","modified":"2026-09-14T18:15:58.290Z","reserved":null,"kevAdded":[],"kevDue":[]},"cvss":{"headline":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"CVE.org","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:L","computed":false,"selection":"backend-summary"},"metrics":[{"version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"CVE.org","score":8.1,"severity":"high","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:L","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false},{"version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"NVD","score":8.1,"severity":"high","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:L","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false}]},"epss":{"probability":0.00205,"percentile":0.09927,"severity":"low","asOf":"2026-10-19T00:00:00.000Z","change":{"pp":0.01600000000000002,"baselineDate":"2026-09-19T00:00:00.000Z","baselineScore":0.00189},"history":[{"date":"2026-09-14T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-15T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-17T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-18T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-20T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-21T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-23T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-24T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-25T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-26T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-27T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-28T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-29T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-30T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-01T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-02T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-03T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-04T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-05T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-06T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-07T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-08T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-09T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-10T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-11T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-12T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-13T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-14T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-15T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-16T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-17T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-18T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":0.09927}],"last30":[{"date":"2026-09-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-20T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-21T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-23T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-24T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-25T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-26T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-27T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-28T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-29T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-30T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-01T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-02T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-03T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-04T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-05T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-06T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-07T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-08T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-09T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00205,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-10T00:00:00.
