Python Swift client is vulnerable to Missing SSL Certificate Check
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| PyPI | python-swiftclient | >= 1.0, < 2.0 | 2.0 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
The OpenStack Python client library for Swift (python-swiftclient) from 1.0 before 2.0 does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.
