Subject: [PATCH] force transport encryption for WebUI logins
Date: Fri, 08 Sep 2017 19:19:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170908191953.7531e069.peter.mueller@link38.eu> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2581 bytes --]
Force SSL/TLS for any WebUI directory which requires an authentication.
This prevents credentials from being transmitted in plaintext, which is
an information leak.
Scenario: A MITM attacker might block all encrypted traffic to the
firewall's web interface, making the administrator using an unencrypted
connection (i.e. via port 81). Username and password can be easily
logged in transit then.
