- Affected
- PyPI python-swiftclient >= 1.0, < 2.0
- Fixed in
- 2.0· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- The OpenStack Python client library for Swift (python-swiftclient) from 1.0 before 2.0 does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 2.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
