      This High severity MITM (Man-in-the-Middle) vulnerability was introduced in versions 9.2.0, 9.3.0, 9.4.0, 9.5.0, and 9.6.0 of Bitbucket Data Center.

      This MITM (Man-in-the-Middle) vulnerability, with a CVSS Score of 8.2 and a CVSS Vector of CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:L/SA:N allows an unauthenticated attacker to position themselves between two or more networked devices using an MITM (Man-in-the-Middle) / adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) technique.

      The National Vulnerability Database provides the following description for this vulnerability: pgjdbc is an open source postgresql JDBC Driver. In releases 42.7.4 through 42.7.11, channelBinding=require connections can be silently downgraded from SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS with channel binding to plain SCRAM-SHA-256 without it, losing the man-in-the-middle protection the setting is meant to guarantee. An attacker who can intercept the TLS connection can trigger the downgrade with a certificate whose signature algorithm has no tls-server-end-point channel-binding hash, because the bundled com.ongres.scram:scram-client returns an empty byte array instead of failing and pgJDBC ScramAuthenticator checks only that the server advertised a PLUS mechanism, without rejecting the empty binding or checking that the negotiated mechanism uses channel binding. This issue is fixed in version 42.7.12.
