CVE-2026-3012 Details
Description
A flaw was found in Samba’s certificate auto-enrollment Group Policy handling. When certificate auto-enrollment is enabled, Samba may retrieve a CA certificate over an unencrypted HTTP connection and install it into the local trust store without proper verification. An attacker with the ability to intercept or redirect network traffic could exploit this behavior to supply a malicious certificate authority certificate, potentially allowing interception or spoofing of trusted communications.
A vulnerability exists in Samba's handling of certificate auto-enrollment through Group Policy. When this feature is enabled, Samba can retrieve a Certificate Authority (CA) certificate over an unencrypted HTTP connection and install it into the local trust store without proper validation. This flaw could be exploited by an attacker who intercepts or redirects network traffic to introduce a malicious CA certificate, potentially compromising trusted communications. The issue affects Samba versions 4.16 and later, including the current release 4.24.0rc1.
Users can upgrade to Samba versions 4.21.11, 4.22.10, 4.23.8, or 4.24.3, all of which include the necessary fix. Alternatively, administrators can disable certificate auto-enrollment in Group Policy or ensure that their Samba configuration does not apply group policies.
