Security concerns with Checkmk Werk 14079

Hello Robin,

Thank you for the kb. Exactly that is a no go:

Agent Pairing for TLS Encryption

For a user to be able to do the cmk-agent-ctl register, which is needed to enable the TLS encryption (available from 2.1.0 onwards), you have to add the following rights (internal name “general.agent_pairing”) to his/her role.

  • Agent pairing
  • Read access to all hosts and folders
  • Write access to all hosts and folders

regards

Michael
