Recommendation
- Implement robust security controls for certificates, offering either a predefined set of trusted Certification Authorities or incorporating integrity checks and white lists of trusted public keys that the application will accept. - In res/xml/network_security_config.xml - Define pin-sets with integrity hashes. - Set trust-anchors by providing a list of trusted Certification Authorities.
Threat
Anonymous attacker from the Internet.
