CVE-2010-4340: Apache Libcloud does not verify SSL certificates for HTTPS connections

May 17, 2022 (updated September 13, 2024)

libcloud before 0.4.0 does not verify SSL certificates for HTTPS connections, which allows remote attackers to spoof certificates and bypass intended access restrictions via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack. This is due to an upstream issue with python’s SSL module rather than directly with libcloud.
