CVE-2014-3603: Improper Validation of Certificate with Host Mismatch

April 4, 2019 (updated April 8, 2019)

The (1) HttpResource and (2) FileBackedHttpResource implementations in OpenSAML do 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.
