SSL Certificate Bypass Vulnerability in ownCloud Desktop Client

CVE-2015-4456 · LOW Severity

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

ownCloud Desktop Client before 1.8.2 does not call QNetworkReply::ignoreSslErrors with the list of errors to be ignored, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to bypass the user's certificate distrust decision and obtain sensitive information by leveraging a self-signed certificate and a connection to a server using its own self-signed certificate.
