Pluto · Pluto · CVE-2024-32973
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Pluto versions prior to 0.9.3
**Description**
The issue affects Pluto, a superset of Lua 5.4, allowing an attacker who can intercept network traffic to use a specifically-crafted certificate to fool Pluto into trusting it as the intended remote for the TLS session. This results in the HTTP library and socket.starttls providing less transport integrity than expected.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 0.9.3, upgrade to version 0.9.3 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the HTTP library and socket.starttls until the upgrade is applied.
