Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity in Async Http Client

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 13, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Mar 4, 2024

Package

maven com.ning:async-http-client (Maven)

Affected versions

< 1.9.0

Patched versions

1.9.0

Description

Async Http Client (aka AHC or async-http-client) before 1.9.0 skips X.509 certificate verification unless both a keyStore location and a trustStore location are explicitly set, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof HTTPS servers by presenting an arbitrary certificate during use of a typical AHC configuration, as demonstrated by a configuration that does not send client certificates.
