Insufficient data authenticity validation In com.ning:async-http-client
Description
Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity in Async Http Client Async Http Client (aka AHC or async-http-client) before 1.9.0 skips X.509 certificate verification unless both a keyStore location and a trustStore location are explicitly set, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof HTTPS servers by presenting an arbitrary certificate during use of a typical AHC configuration, as demonstrated by a configuration that does not send client certificates.
Mitigation
Update Impact
