Description
go-micro before 6.0.0 contains an improper certificate validation vulnerability that allows network attackers to impersonate services because the shared TLS helper sets InsecureSkipVerify to true by default. Man-in-the-middle attackers can present any certificate to intercept or modify gRPC transport, HTTP and RabbitMQ broker, and Consul or etcd registry traffic, including authentication tokens and credentials.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).
Fix
Upgrade the affected component to the fixed release for CVE-2026-105216, or apply your distribution's backported patch — distro builds are often patched at an older version number, so check your vendor's advisory rather than the upstream version alone.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
