CWE CWE-319: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
OWASP A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence Level Medium
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Medium

Description

TLS certificate verification is disabled for this service, meaning it will trust any server certificate, even if it's invalid or fake. This makes HTTPS connections vulnerable to interception and tampering.

Impact

Attackers could perform man-in-the-middle attacks to intercept or alter sensitive data sent between your service and the server. This compromises data confidentiality and integrity, potentially exposing credentials or allowing unauthorized access.
