Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
CKAN versions before 2.10.10 and from 2.11.0 before 2.11.5 do not validate certificates on SMTP connections. An attacker in a position to intercept network traffic between CKAN and its configured mail server could impersonate that server using any certificate, such as a self-signed one, and capture SMTP credentials and email content. Upgrade to CKAN 2.10.10 or 2.11.5. The source gives no workaround.
