Description
Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities. Starting in version 1.7.0, Termix Desktop (Electron) disables TLS certificate validation, allowing a machine-in-the-middle attacker to intercept and modify HTTPS traffic to the configured Termix server. This can lead to credential theft and JWT/session theft during login and normal use. As of time of publication, no known patched versions are available.

AI Analysis

Impact

Termix Desktop, the Electron-based client for Termix, disables TLS certificate validation starting with version 1.7.0. This flaw allows a network attacker to perform a man‑in‑the‑middle attack, intercept and modify HTTPS traffic to the configured Termix server, capturing credentials entered during login and JWT/session tokens used during normal use. The weakness is a classic certificate validation error (CWE‑295), resulting in a loss of confidentiality for user credentials and tokens. An attacker does not need privileged access to the Termix server; only the ability to interpose on the client‑to‑server connection is required.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Termix Desktop, the Electron client for the Termix web‑based server management platform, for all releases version 1.7.0 and later. No fixed version is currently available.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 8.0, indicating high severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The most likely attack vector is a compromised local network or an attacker capable of reflecting traffic to the client. Because no patch has been released, the risk remains high for all users of Termix Desktop 1.7.0 or newer who have not isolated themselves from potential MITM traffic.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Reject self‑signed or untrusted TLS certificates by configuring the operating system or firewall to block Termix Desktop connections to such certificates.
  • Isolate Termix Desktop traffic by using network segmentation or a VPN so that the client communicates only over trusted links.
  • Monitor outbound traffic from Termix Desktop for certificate anomalies and consider disabling or upgrading the client when a patched version becomes available.
  • Disable the 'allow insecure connections' option if present, or use the command line flag to enforce certificate validation, if supported by the application.
