- Issue
- Tweepy does not 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 an arbitrary valid certificate, related to use of the Python httplib library.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 3.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
