Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Async Http Client (com.ning:async-http-client) versions before 1.9.0 skip X.509 certificate verification unless both a keyStore and a trustStore location are explicitly set. An attacker who can intercept network traffic can present an arbitrary certificate and impersonate HTTPS servers. Upgrade to version 1.9.0 or later.
