Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
HashiCorp Consul versions before 1.4.4 do not verify server hostnames for agent-to-agent TLS communication, so the setting verify_server_hostname behaves as if it were false even when set to true. An attacker who can intercept or redirect agent traffic may be able to impersonate a server; the source gives few details on the exact conditions. Upgrade to Consul 1.4.4 or later.
