async-http-client: SSL/TLS certificate verification is disabled under certain conditions
Published Jun 24, 2015

MEDIUMCVSS 2.0
EPSS 0.99%
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.
