How to fix
Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.
cinder PyPI → 7.0.0a0

pip install --upgrade "cinder>=7.0.0a0"- poetry
poetry add "cinder>=7.0.0a0"- uv
uv add "cinder>=7.0.0a0"
keystone PyPI → 8.0.0a0
- pip
pip install --upgrade "keystone>=8.0.0a0"- poetry
poetry add "keystone>=8.0.0a0"- uv

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.
