Descriptions

main/java/com/ning/http/client/AsyncHttpClientConfig.java in Async Http Client (aka AHC or async-http-client) before 1.9.0 does not require a hostname match during verification of X.509 certificates, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof HTTPS servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.

main/java/com/ning/http/client/AsyncHttpClientConfig.java en Async Http Client (también conocido como AHC o async-http-client) anterior a 1.9.0 no requiere una coincidencia de nombre de anfitrión durante la verificación de los certificados X.509, lo que permite a atacantes man-in-the-middle falsificar servidores HTTPS a través de un certificado válido arbitrario.

It was found that async-http-client did not verify that the server hostname matched the domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field in X.509 certificates. This could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof an SSL server if they had a certificate that was valid for any domain name.
