hexchat: CVE-2013-7449

Severity: Medium
Published: Apr 21, 2016, 2:59:00 PM UTC
Source: [NVD] · [CVE record]
EPSS: 0.76% · Oct 25, 2026

The ssl_do_connect function in common/server.c in HexChat before 2.10.2, XChat, and XChat-GNOME does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
