Insecure Certificate Verification in Inetc Plugin for NSIS

CVE-2015-0941 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:M/AU:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

The Inetc plugin for Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS), as used in CERT/CC Failure Observation Engine (FOE) and other products, does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and possibly execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted certificate in a download session for Windows executable files.
