## Overview

A flaw was found in assisted-migration-agent. The application hardcodes insecure Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections when communicating with vCenter. This vulnerability allows a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacker to intercept and harvest vCenter administrator credentials. This can lead to unauthorized access to vCenter.

## Affected packages

- `github.com/kubev2v/assisted-migration-agent < 0.16.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `github.com/kubev2v/assisted-migration-agent 0.16.0`
