Insecure SSL Certificate Validation in postgresql-jdbc

CVE-2018-10936 · MEDIUM Severity

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

A weakness was found in postgresql-jdbc before version 42.2.5. It was possible to provide an SSL Factory and not check the host name if a host name verifier was not provided to the driver. This could lead to a condition where a man-in-the-middle attacker could masquerade as a trusted server by providing a certificate for the wrong host, as long as it was signed by a trusted CA.
