CVE-2015-1828
The Ruby http gem before 0.7.3 does not verify hostnames in SSL connections, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a man-in-the-middle-attack.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.52%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
