Description
ConfD provided a web interface by means of serving an embedded terminal. This allowed users to interact with ConfD via a web browser. This application wasn’t used and neither well-maintained.
It was found to be using an old jQuery version (1.7.1), which is subject to a few CVEs (e.g. CVE-2012-6708 and CVE-2020-7656).
Since confd_client provides a more reliable and mature interface to ConfD, it was decided to remove this web terminal altogether.
Workaround
There is no workaround.
Fix
ConfD's web terminal does no longer exist.
Changed behavior
ConfD's web terminal that was available on port 443 does no longer exist.
