Description David Jorm 2014-08-26 06:10:01 UTC
It was found that async-http-client would disable SSL/TLS certificate verification under certain conditions, for example if HTTPS communication also uses client certificates. This can be exploited by a Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack where the attacker can spoof a valid certificate.
