Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity in Async Http Client
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maven | com.ning:async-http-client | < 1.9.0 | 1.9.0 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
main/java/com/ning/http/client/AsyncHttpClientConfig.java in Async Http Client (aka AHC or async-http-client) before 1.9.0 does not require a hostname match during verification of X.509 certificates, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof HTTPS servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
