CA Private Key in Client connection Data Package? #683

Open bobdrummond opened 8 months ago

bobdrummond commented 8 months ago

Hi, I'm a new user just getting started with ATAK. I was trying to figure out how to change the connectString0 in the generated client packages, and everything I tried to change in config files was ineffective.

While digging into the packages and code FreeTAKServer/core/util/certificate_generation.py I noticed that the CA p12 file zipped into client packages has the CA Private Key included. Is that by design or an accident from reusing _generate_certificate() on the CA?

I manually stripped the CA Private Key out of a p12 file with openssl, made a new zip, and tested on a clean client, and it seems to connect and work. Is there something I'm missing or is this an unnecessary security leak?

@naman108 is this one fixed?

hey @bobdrummond, thanks so much for this report, could you share what version you're using, and send an example of a cert with the private key bundled because, from what I can tell from inspecting certs with openssl, the only private key is that of the client bundled in the client p12 and no private key in the second p12.
