Subject: Portus, missing certificate validation on proxified https traffic
Hi,
Taking another look at portus, this time at the nginx sample
configuration[1], I noticed that it doesn't enable certificate
validation of the proxified traffic that is forwarded to portus and
registry.
Given that the documentation claims the examples are of "A
production-ready setup where all communication is encrypted."[2], I
plan to request a CVE id.
The details:
The example nginx configuration is based on running nginx as a
reverse-proxy of portus and (docker) registry. The docker-compose
provided along the nginx config sets up a certificate[3] for both
components (first smell: only one certificate).
The one an only certificate is also configured on the reverse proxy,
and a decent ciphers list among other security-related http headers
are setup.
But there's no single proxy_ssl_* directive in the whole nginx
configuration (second smell). Meaning that proxy_ssl_verify is off
(nginx default).
Has anyone reviewed portus? this is the second missing certificate
verification I noticed.

Oh and it appears that this one comes from the
Portus-On-OracleLinux7[4] repo from which "[they] borrowed a lot of
the NGinx configuration"[2] :
