What is CVE-2018-8059?

A security vulnerability exists in the Djelibeybi configuration examples for NGINX in SUSE Portus 2.3. This issue arises when certain configurations involving Docker Compose are implemented without appropriate 'proxy_ssl_*' directives, leading to a lack of SSL certificate validation. As a result, this misconfiguration could expose the system to potential security risks, allowing attackers to intercept or manipulate secure communications.
