Weakness

CWE-295: Improper Certificate Validation

The product does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate.

How to prevent it
  • Architecture and Design, Implementation: Certificates should be carefully managed and checked to assure that data are encrypted with the intended owner's public key.
  • Implementation: If certificate pinning is being used, ensure that all relevant properties of the certificate are fully validated before the certificate is pinned, including the hostname.
