Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Micro Focus Application Automation Tools Plugin versions 6.7 and earlier

Description The issue is related to improper certificate validation, which could allow unconditionally disabling of SSL/TLS certificates. This affects connections to Service Virtualization servers, where SSL/TLS certificate validation is unconditionally disabled.

Recommendations For versions 6.7 and earlier, consider updating to version 6.8 or later, which provides an option to disable SSL/TLS certificate validation for connections to Service Virtualization servers, rather than doing so unconditionally. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the vulnerable plugin until a patch or update is available.
