Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-06-12 15:24:27 UTC 
The podman machine init command fails to verify the TLS certificate when downloading the VM images from an OCI registry (which it does by default since 5.0.0) allowing a possible Man In The Middle attack.

Requirements to exploit:
Access to the network path between registry and client to perform a MITM
attack.

Version affected: podman >= 4.8.0
Code was added in commit ea4775e, however it is only used as default way
to pull images since 5.0.0.
Comment 2 Tom Sweeney 2025-06-17 17:19:46 UTC 
Just noting that the code with the issue was first introduced in Podman v4.8 and RHEL 8.10 & 9.4.  Also in OCP 4.16.  Earlier versions of OCP and RHEL are not affected by this issue.
