Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Step CA, an online certificate authority. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending an unauthenticated SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol) Update Request. This allows the attacker to issue unauthorized certificates, potentially leading to a compromise of the certificate management system and enabling further attacks such as impersonation or man-in-the-middle attacks.
