Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Async Http Client up to 1.8.x. It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown part of the file main/java/com/ning/http/client/AsyncHttpClientConfig.java of the component X.509 Certificate Validator. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a data authenticity vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-345. The product does not sufficiently verify the origin or authenticity of data, in a way that causes it to accept invalid data. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, and integrity. The summary by CVE is:

main/java/com/ning/http/client/AsyncHttpClientConfig.java in Async Http Client (aka AHC or async-http-client) before 1.9.0 does not require a hostname match during verification of X.509 certificates, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof HTTPS servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
