Summary
Dex discarding TLSconfig and always serves deprecated TLS 1.0/1.1 and insecure ciphers
Details

Summary

Dex 2.37.0 is serving HTTPS with insecure TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1.

Details

While working on https://github.com/dexidp/dex/issues/2848 and implementing configurable TLS support, I noticed my changes did not have any effect in TLS config, so I started investigating.

https://github.com/dexidp/dex/blob/70d7a2c7c1bb2646b1a540e49616cbc39622fb83/cmd/dex/serve.go#L425 is seemingly setting TLS 1.2 as minimum version, but the whole tlsConfig is ignored after "TLS cert reloader" was introduced in https://github.com/dexidp/dex/pull/2964. Configured cipher suites are not respected either, as seen on the output.

PoC

Build Dex, generate certs with gencert.sh, modify config.dev.yaml to run on https, using generated certs.

issuer: http://127.0.0.1:5556/dex

storage:
  type: sqlite3
  config:
    file: dex.db

web:
  https: 127.0.0.1:5556
  tlsCert: examples/k8s/ssl/cert.pem
  tlsKey: examples/k8s/ssl/key.pem

<rest as default>

Run dex bin/dex serve config.dev.yaml.

Install sslyze, easy to use SSL connection analyzer:

pip3 install sslyze
sslyze 127.0.0.1:5556

In Dex 2.37.0, TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 are enabled in addition to expected TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3.

     Attempted to connect using 156 cipher suites.

     The server accepted the following 5 cipher suites:

       Forward Secrecy                    OK - Supported
       Legacy RC4 Algorithm               OK - Not Supported


 * TLS 1.3 Cipher Suites:
     Attempted to connect using 5 cipher suites.

     The server accepted the following 3 cipher suites:
        TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256                      256       ECDH: X25519 (253 bits)

Impact

TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 connections can be decrypted by the attacker, and hence decrypt the traffic to Dex.
