    Improper certificate validation in org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient

    CVE-2012-6153 · GHSA-2x83-r56g-cv47

    Affected
    • Maven org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient < 4.2.3
    Fixed in

    http/conn/ssl/AbstractVerifier.java in Apache Commons HttpClient before 4.2.3 does not properly verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via a certificate with a subject that specifies a common name in a field that is not the CN field. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-5783.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 4.2.3 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
