Additional information
NVDhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-2639
CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/295.html

It was found that CloudForms does not verify that the server hostname matches the domain name in the certificate when using a custom CA and communicating with Red Hat Virtualization (RHEV) and OpenShift. This would allow an attacker to spoof RHEV or OpenShift systems and potentially harvest sensitive information from CloudForms.

Weakness

The product does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate.
