CVE-2015-2078
StaffCop 5.8, and other products, does not properly verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-2077.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.67%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
