Description When NGINX Plus or NGINX Open Source is configured with ssl_session_cache

shared:name:size

without an explicit ssl_session_ticket_key file directives to automatically rotate SSL session ticket keys, a remote unauthenticated attacker is able to forge client SSL sessions

in a non-deterministic manner that is beyond the attackers control. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass verification of client certificates.

Impact

This vulnerability can lead to the exposure of resources or functionality to unintended actors, possibly providing attackers with access to sensitive information. There is no control plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only.

Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

Weakness

The product uses or accesses a resource that has not been initialized.
