CVE-2017-5887
WebSocket.swift in Starscream before 2.0.4 allows an SSL Pinning bypass because pinning occurs in the stream function (this is too late; pinning should occur in the initStreamsWithData function).
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.40%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
