Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Async Http Client versions prior to 1.9.0

Description The issue allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof HTTPS servers by presenting an arbitrary certificate during use of a typical configuration, as demonstrated by a configuration that does not send client certificates. This occurs because X.509 certificate verification is skipped unless both a keyStore location and a trustStore location are explicitly set.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.9.0, ensure that both a keyStore location and a trustStore location are explicitly set to enable X.509 certificate verification and prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
