CrowdStrike has issued a security advisory for a serious TLS vulnerability, CVE-2025-1146, in its Falcon Sensor for Linux, Falcon Kubernetes Admission Controller, and Falcon Container Sensor. This vulnerability could enable man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks.
CrowdStrike secures communications from the Falcon sensor to its cloud using standard TLS. However, a validation error in the TLS connection could let attackers intercept and modify traffic between them.
