Root cause

A certificate validation error is silently swallowed instead of terminating the connection. Often, code added for a test environment makes its way into production.

A representative example of this vulnerability class. Not the vendor's source code; it shows the faulty pattern and its fix.

1override fun checkServerTrusted(chain: Array<X509Certificate>, type: String) {2  // Left empty for the test environment3}
