CVE-2020-8156 2 Fedoraproject, Nextcloud 2 Fedora, Nextcloud Mail 2022-05-24 6.8 MEDIUM 7.0 HIGH
A missing verification of the TLS host in Nextcloud Mail 1.1.3 allowed a man in the middle attack.
CVE-2021-27768 1 Hcltech 1 Verse 2022-05-24 4.3 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM
Using the ability to perform a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack, which indicates a lack of hostname verification, sensitive account information was able to be intercepted. In this specific scenario, the application's network traffic was intercepted using a proxy server set up in 'transparent' mode while a certificate with an invalid hostname was active. The Android application was found to have hostname verification issues during the server setup and login flows; however, the application did not process requests post-login.
CVE-2018-8356 1 Microsoft 13 .net Core, .net Framework, .net Framework Developer Pack and 10 more 2022-05-23 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when Microsoft .NET Framework components do not correctly validate certificates, aka ".NET Framework Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability." This affects .NET Framework 4.7.2, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2/4.7/4.7.1/4.7.2, ASP.NET Core 1.1, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2, ASP.NET Core 2.0, ASP.NET Core 1.0, .NET Core 1.1, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6/4.6.1/4.6.2, .NET Core 1.0, .NET Core 2.0, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6/4.6.1/4.6.2/4.7/4.7.1/4.7.1/4.7.2, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2.
CVE-2021-22926 4 Haxx, Netapp, Oracle and 1 more 11 Curl, Active Iq Unified Manager, Clustered Data Ontap and 8 more 2022-05-16 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
libcurl-using applications can ask for a specific client certificate to be used in a transfer. This is done with the `CURLOPT_SSLCERT` option (`--cert` with the command line tool).When libcurl is built to use the macOS native TLS library Secure Transport, an application can ask for the client certificate by name or with a file name - using the same option. If the name exists as a file, it will be used instead of by name.If the appliction runs with a current working directory that is writable by other users (like `/tmp`), a malicious user can create a file name with the same name as the app wants to use by name, and thereby trick the application to use the file based cert instead of the one referred to by name making libcurl send the wrong client certificate in the TLS connection handshake.
CVE-2020-8286 7 Apple, Debian, Fedoraproject and 4 more 19 Mac Os X, Macos, Debian Linux and 16 more 2022-05-13 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
curl 7.41.0 through 7.73.0 is vulnerable to an improper check for certificate revocation due to insufficient verification of the OCSP response.
CVE-2022-24901 1 Parseplatform 1 Parse-server 2022-05-12 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Improper validation of the Apple certificate URL in the Apple Game Center authentication adapter allows attackers to bypass authentication, making the server vulnerable to DoS attacks. The vulnerability has been fixed by improving the URL validation and adding additional checks of the resource the URL points to before downloading it.
CVE-2020-15719 5 Mcafee, Openldap, Opensuse and 2 more 5 Policy Auditor, Openldap, Leap and 2 more 2022-05-12 4.0 MEDIUM 4.2 MEDIUM
libldap in certain third-party OpenLDAP packages has a certificate-validation flaw when the third-party package is asserting RFC6125 support. It considers CN even when there is a non-matching subjectAltName (SAN). This is fixed in, for example, openldap-2.4.46-10.el8 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
CVE-2020-8172 2 Nodejs, Oracle 5 Node.js, Banking Extensibility Workbench, Blockchain Platform and 2 more 2022-05-12 5.8 MEDIUM 7.4 HIGH

CVE-2020-9488 4 Apache, Debian, Oracle and 1 more 46 Log4j, Debian Linux, Communications Application Session Controller and 43 more 2022-05-12 4.3 MEDIUM 3.7 LOW
Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch in Apache Log4j SMTP appender. This could allow an SMTPS connection to be intercepted by a man-in-the-middle attack which could leak any log messages sent through that appender. Fixed in Apache Log4j 2.12.3 and 2.13.1
CVE-2021-3898 1 Motorola 2 Device Help, Ready For 2022-05-09 4.3 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
Versions of Motorola Ready For and Motorola Device Help Android applications prior to 2021-04-08 do not properly verify the server certificate which could lead to the communication channel being accessible by an attacker.
CVE-2021-20695 1 Dlink 2 Dap-1880ac, Dap-1880ac Firmware 2022-05-03 9.0 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
Improper following of a certificate's chain of trust vulnerability in DAP-1880AC firmware version 1.21 and earlier allows a remote authenticated attacker to gain root privileges via unspecified vectors.
CVE-2022-27536 2 Apple, Golang 2 Macos, Go 2022-04-29 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Certificate.Verify in crypto/x509 in Go 1.18.x before 1.18.1 can be caused to panic on macOS when presented with certain malformed certificates. This allows a remote TLS server to cause a TLS client to panic.
CVE-2022-22885 1 Hutool 1 Hutool 2022-02-25 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
Hutool v5.7.18's HttpRequest was discovered to ignore all TLS/SSL certificate validation.
CVE-2022-21654 2022-02-24 N/A N/A
Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy, designed for cloud-native applications. Envoy's tls allows re-use when some cert validation settings have changed from their default configuration. The only workaround for this issue is to ensure that default tls settings are used. Users are advised to upgrade.
CVE-2022-21656 2022-02-23 N/A N/A
Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy, designed for cloud-native applications. The default_validator.cc implementation used to implement the default certificate validation routines has a "type confusion" bug when processing subjectAltNames. This processing allows, for example, an rfc822Name or uniformResourceIndicator to be authenticated as a domain name. This confusion allows for the bypassing of nameConstraints, as processed by the underlying OpenSSL/BoringSSL implementation, exposing the possibility of impersonation of arbitrary servers. As a result Envoy will trust upstream certificates that should not be trusted.
CVE-2022-21657 2022-02-23 N/A N/A
Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy, designed for cloud-native applications. In affected versions Envoy does not restrict the set of certificates it accepts from the peer, either as a TLS client or a TLS server, to only those certificates that contain the necessary extendedKeyUsage (id-kp-serverAuth and id-kp-clientAuth, respectively). This means that a peer may present an e-mail certificate (e.g. id-kp-emailProtection), either as a leaf certificate or as a CA in the chain, and it will be accepted for TLS. This is particularly bad when combined with the issue described in pull request #630, in that it allows a Web PKI CA that is intended only for use with S/MIME, and thus exempted from audit or supervision, to issue TLS certificates that will be accepted by Envoy. As a result Envoy will trust upstream certificates that should not be trusted. There are no known workarounds to this issue. Users are advised to upgrade.
CVE-2022-24968 1 Mellium 1 Xmpp 2022-02-22 4.3 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM
In Mellium mellium.im/xmpp through 0.21.0, an attacker capable of spoofing DNS TXT records can redirect a WebSocket connection request to a server under their control without causing TLS certificate verification to fail. This occurs because the wrong host name is selected during this verification.
CVE-2022-23649 2022-02-22 N/A N/A
Cosign provides container signing, verification, and storage in an OCI registry for the sigstore project. Prior to version 1.5.2, Cosign can be manipulated to claim that an entry for a signature exists in the Rekor transparency log even if it doesn't. This requires the attacker to have pull and push permissions for the signature in OCI. This can happen with both standard signing with a keypair and "keyless signing" with Fulcio. If an attacker has access to the signature in OCI, they can manipulate cosign into believing the entry was stored in Rekor even though it wasn't. The vulnerability has been patched in v1.5.2 of Cosign. The `signature` in the `signedEntryTimestamp` provided by Rekor is now compared to the `signature` that is being verified. If these don't match, then an error is returned. If a valid bundle is copied to a different signature, verification should fail. Cosign output now only informs the user that certificates were verified if a certificate was in fact verified. There is currently no known workaround.
CVE-2020-24661 2 Fedoraproject, Gnome 2 Fedora, Geary 2022-02-22 2.6 LOW 5.9 MEDIUM
GNOME Geary before 3.36.3 mishandles pinned TLS certificate verification for IMAP and SMTP services using invalid TLS certificates (e.g., self-signed certificates) when the client system is not configured to use a system-provided PKCS#11 store. This allows a meddler in the middle to present a different invalid certificate to intercept incoming and outgoing mail.
CVE-2022-24320 1 Schneider-electric 3 Clearscada, Ecostruxure Geo Scada Expert 2019, Ecostruxure Geo Scada Expert 2020 2022-02-16 4.3 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM

CVE-2022-20034 2 Google, Mediatek 22 Android, Mt6580, Mt6735 and 19 more 2022-02-11 4.6 MEDIUM 6.8 MEDIUM
In Preloader XFLASH, there is a possible escalation of privilege due to an improper certificate validation. This could lead to local escalation of privilege for an attacker who has physical access to the device with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: ALPS06160806; Issue ID: ALPS06160806.
CVE-2012-5824 1 Cerulean Studios 1 Trillian 2022-02-07 5.8 MEDIUM N/A
Trillian 5.1.0.19 does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-4831.
CVE-2009-4831 1 Cerulean Studios 1 Trillian 2022-02-07 5.8 MEDIUM N/A
Cerulean Studios Trillian 3.1 Basic does not check SSL certificates during MSN authentication, which allows remote attackers to obtain MSN credentials via a man-in-the-middle attack with a spoofed SSL certificate.
CVE-2021-34558 3 Fedoraproject, Golang, Netapp 5 Fedora, Go, Cloud Insights Telegraf and 2 more 2022-02-07 2.6 LOW 6.5 MEDIUM
The crypto/tls package of Go through 1.16.5 does not properly assert that the type of public key in an X.509 certificate matches the expected type when doing a RSA based key exchange, allowing a malicious TLS server to cause a TLS client to panic.
CVE-2018-7234 1 Schneider-electric 40 Ibp1110-1er, Ibp1110-1er Firmware, Ibp219-1er and 37 more 2022-02-02 7.8 HIGH 7.5 HIGH

The EU Technical Specifications for Digital COVID Certificates before 1.1 mishandle certificate governance. A non-production public key certificate could have been used in production.
CVE-2022-22156 1 Juniper 1 Junos 2022-01-26 5.8 MEDIUM 7.4 HIGH
An Improper Certificate Validation weakness in the Juniper Networks Junos OS allows an attacker to perform Person-in-the-Middle (PitM) attacks when a system script is fetched from a remote source at a specified HTTPS URL, which may compromise the integrity and confidentiality of the device. The following command can be executed by an administrator via the CLI to refresh a script from a remote location, which is affected from this vulnerability: >request system scripts refresh-from (commit | event | extension-service | op | snmp) file filename url <https-url> This issue affects: Juniper Networks Junos OS All versions prior to 18.4R2-S9, 18.4R3-S9; 19.1 versions prior to 19.1R2-S3, 19.1R3-S7; 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R1-S7, 19.2R3-S3; 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R3-S4; 19.4 versions prior to 19.4R3-S7; 20.1 versions prior to 20.1R2-S2, 20.1R3; 20.2 versions prior to 20.2R3; 20.3 versions prior to 20.3R2-S1, 20.3R3; 20.4 versions prior to 20.4R2; 21.1 versions prior to 21.1R1-S1, 21.1R2.
CVE-2015-4100 1 Puppet 1 Puppet Enterprise 2022-01-24 4.9 MEDIUM 6.8 MEDIUM
Puppet Enterprise 3.7.x and 3.8.0 might allow remote authenticated users to manage certificates for arbitrary nodes by leveraging a client certificate trusted by the master, aka a "Certificate Authority Reverse Proxy Vulnerability."
CVE-2021-44273 1 E2bn 1 E2guardian 2022-01-11 5.8 MEDIUM 7.4 HIGH
e2guardian v5.4.x <= v5.4.3r is affected by missing SSL certificate validation in the SSL MITM engine. In standalone mode (i.e., acting as a proxy or a transparent proxy), with SSL MITM enabled, e2guardian, if built with OpenSSL v1.1.x, did not validate hostnames in certificates of the web servers that it connected to, and thus was itself vulnerable to MITM attacks.
CVE-2021-41028 1 Fortinet 2 Forticlient, Forticlient Endpoint Management Server 2022-01-04 5.4 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
A combination of a use of hard-coded cryptographic key vulnerability [CWE-321] in FortiClientEMS 7.0.1 and below, 6.4.6 and below and an improper certificate validation vulnerability [CWE-297] in FortiClientWindows, FortiClientLinux and FortiClientMac 7.0.1 and below, 6.4.6 and below may allow an unauthenticated and network adjacent attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack between the EMS and the FCT via the telemetry protocol.
CVE-2020-1675 1 Juniper 1 Mist Cloud Ui 2022-01-01 4.3 MEDIUM 8.3 HIGH
When Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) authentication is enabled, Juniper Networks Mist Cloud UI might incorrectly process invalid authentication certificates which could allow a malicious network-based user to access unauthorized data. This issue affects all Juniper Networks Mist Cloud UI versions prior to September 2 2020.
CVE-2021-39359 1 Gnome 1 Libgda 2021-12-31 4.3 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM
In GNOME libgda through 6.0.0, gda-web-provider.c does not enable TLS certificate verification on the SoupSessionSync objects it creates, leaving users vulnerable to network MITM attacks. NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2016-20011.
CVE-2020-7942 1 Puppet 2 Puppet, Puppet Agent 2021-12-30 4.0 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
Previously, Puppet operated on a model that a node with a valid certificate was entitled to all information in the system and that a compromised certificate allowed access to everything in the infrastructure. When a node's catalog falls back to the `default` node, the catalog can be retrieved for a different node by modifying facts for the Puppet run. This issue can be mitigated by setting `strict_hostname_checking = true` in `puppet.conf` on your Puppet master. Puppet 6.13.0 and 5.5.19 changes the default behavior for strict_hostname_checking from false to true. It is recommended that Puppet Open Source and Puppet Enterprise users that are not upgrading still set strict_hostname_checking to true to ensure secure behavior. Affected software versions: Puppet 6.x prior to 6.13.0 Puppet Agent 6.x prior to 6.13.0 Puppet 5.5.x prior to 5.5.19 Puppet Agent 5.5.x prior to 5.5.19 Resolved in: Puppet 6.13.0 Puppet Agent 6.13.0 Puppet 5.5.19 Puppet Agent 5.5.19
CVE-2021-41611 2 Fedoraproject, Squid-cache 2 Fedora, Squid 2021-12-23 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
An issue was discovered in Squid 5.0.6 through 5.1.x before 5.2. When validating an origin server or peer certificate, Squid may incorrectly classify certain certificates as trusted. This problem allows a remote server to obtain security trust well improperly. This indication of trust may be passed along to clients, allowing access to unsafe or hijacked services.
CVE-2021-44549 1 Apache 1 Sling Commons Messaging Mail 2021-12-21 5.8 MEDIUM 7.4 HIGH
Apache Sling Commons Messaging Mail provides a simple layer on top of JavaMail/Jakarta Mail for OSGi to send mails via SMTPS. To reduce the risk of "man in the middle" attacks additional server identity checks must be performed when accessing mail servers. For compatibility reasons these additional checks are disabled by default in JavaMail/Jakarta Mail. The SimpleMailService in Apache Sling Commons Messaging Mail 1.0 lacks an option to enable these checks for the shared mail session. A user could enable these checks nevertheless by accessing the session via the message created by SimpleMessageBuilder and setting the property mail.smtps.ssl.checkserveridentity to true. Apache Sling Commons Messaging Mail 2.0 adds support for enabling server identity checks and these checks are enabled by default. - https://javaee.github.io/javamail/docs/SSLNOTES.txt - https://javaee.github.io/javamail/docs/api/com/sun/mail/smtp/package-summary.html - https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/mail/issues/429
CVE-2021-42027 1 Siemens 1 Sinumerik Edge 2021-12-20 5.8 MEDIUM 7.4 HIGH
A vulnerability has been identified in SINUMERIK Edge (All versions < V3.2). The affected software does not properly validate the server certificate when initiating a TLS connection. This could allow an attacker to spoof a trusted entity by interfering in the communication path between the client and the intended server.
CVE-2021-39365 2 Debian, Gnome 2 Debian Linux, Grilo 2021-12-16 4.3 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM
In GNOME grilo though 0.3.13, grl-net-wc.c does not enable TLS certificate verification on the SoupSessionAsync objects it creates, leaving users vulnerable to network MITM attacks. NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2016-20011.
CVE-2021-32728 2 Debian, Nextcloud 2 Debian Linux, Nextcloud 2021-12-16 4.0 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
The Nextcloud Desktop Client is a tool to synchronize files from Nextcloud Server with a computer. Clients using the Nextcloud end-to-end encryption feature download the public and private key via an API endpoint. In versions prior to 3.3.0, the Nextcloud Desktop client fails to check if a private key belongs to previously downloaded public certificate. If the Nextcloud instance serves a malicious public key, the data would be encrypted for this key and thus could be accessible to a malicious actor. This issue is fixed in Nextcloud Desktop Client version 3.3.0. There are no known workarounds aside from upgrading.
CVE-2020-4496 2 Ibm, Linux 2 Spectrum Protect Plus, Linux Kernel 2021-12-15 4.3 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM
The IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.0.0 through 10.1.8.x server connection to an IBM Spectrum Protect Plus workload agent is subject to a man-in-the-middle attack due to improper certificate validation. IBM X-Force ID: 182046.
CVE-2017-4981 1 Dell 1 Bsafe Cert-c 2021-12-15 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
EMC RSA BSAFE Cert-C before 2.9.0.5 contains a potential improper certificate processing vulnerability.
CVE-2021-31747 1 Pluck-cms 1 Pluck 2021-12-14 5.8 MEDIUM 4.8 MEDIUM
Missing SSL Certificate Validation issue exists in Pluck 4.7.15 in update_applet.php, which could lead to man-in-the-middle attacks.
CVE-2015-0534 1 Dell 3 Bsafe, Bsafe Ssl-c, Bsafe Ssl-j 2021-12-14 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
EMC RSA BSAFE Micro Edition Suite (MES) 4.0.x before 4.0.8 and 4.1.x before 4.1.3, RSA BSAFE Crypto-J before 6.2, RSA BSAFE SSL-J before 6.2, and RSA BSAFE SSL-C 2.8.9 and earlier do not enforce certain constraints on certificate data, which allows remote attackers to defeat a fingerprint-based certificate-blacklist protection mechanism by including crafted data within a certificate's unsigned portion, a similar issue to CVE-2014-8275.
CVE-2021-31597 1 Xmlhttprequest-ssl Project 1 Xmlhttprequest-ssl 2021-12-08 7.5 HIGH 9.4 CRITICAL
The xmlhttprequest-ssl package before 1.6.1 for Node.js disables SSL certificate validation by default, because rejectUnauthorized (when the property exists but is undefined) is considered to be false within the https.request function of Node.js. In other words, no certificate is ever rejected.
CVE-2021-28363 3 Fedoraproject, Oracle, Python 3 Fedora, Peoplesoft Enterprise Peopletools, Urllib3 2021-12-08 6.4 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
The urllib3 library 1.26.x before 1.26.4 for Python omits SSL certificate validation in some cases involving HTTPS to HTTPS proxies. The initial connection to the HTTPS proxy (if an SSLContext isn't given via proxy_config) doesn't verify the hostname of the certificate. This means certificates for different servers that still validate properly with the default urllib3 SSLContext will be silently accepted.
CVE-2021-37698 2 Debian, Icinga 2 Debian Linux, Icinga 2021-12-03 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Icinga is a monitoring system which checks the availability of network resources, notifies users of outages, and generates performance data for reporting. In versions 2.5.0 through 2.13.0, ElasticsearchWriter, GelfWriter, InfluxdbWriter and Influxdb2Writer do not verify the server's certificate despite a certificate authority being specified. Icinga 2 instances which connect to any of the mentioned time series databases (TSDBs) using TLS over a spoofable infrastructure should immediately upgrade to version 2.13.1, 2.12.6, or 2.11.11 to patch the issue. Such instances should also change the credentials (if any) used by the TSDB writer feature to authenticate against the TSDB. There are no workarounds aside from upgrading.
CVE-2021-22895 2 Debian, Nextcloud 2 Debian Linux, Desktop 2021-12-02 4.3 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM
Nextcloud Desktop Client before 3.3.1 is vulnerable to improper certificate validation due to lack of SSL certificate verification when using the "Register with a Provider" flow.
CVE-2021-40830 3 Amazon, Linux, Opengroup 4 Amazon Web Services Aws-c-io, Amazon Web Services Internet Of Things Device Software Development Kit V2, Linux Kernel and 1 more 2021-12-02 5.8 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
The AWS IoT Device SDK v2 for Java, Python, C++ and Node.js appends a user supplied Certificate Authority (CA) to the root CAs instead of overriding it on Unix systems. TLS handshakes will thus succeed if the peer can be verified either from the user-supplied CA or the system’s default trust-store. Attackers with access to a host’s trust stores or are able to compromise a certificate authority already in the host's trust store (note: the attacker must also be able to spoof DNS in this case) may be able to use this issue to bypass CA pinning. An attacker could then spoof the MQTT broker, and either drop traffic and/or respond with the attacker's data, but they would not be able to forward this data on to the MQTT broker because the attacker would still need the user's private keys to authenticate against the MQTT broker. The 'aws_tls_ctx_options_override_default_trust_store_*' function within the aws-c-io submodule has been updated to override the default trust store. This corrects this issue. This issue affects: Amazon Web Services AWS IoT Device SDK v2 for Java versions prior to 1.5.0 on Linux/Unix. Amazon Web Services AWS IoT Device SDK v2 for Python versions prior to 1.6.1 on Linux/Unix. Amazon Web Services AWS IoT Device SDK v2 for C++ versions prior to 1.12.7 on Linux/Unix. Amazon Web Services AWS IoT Device SDK v2 for Node.js versions prior to 1.5.3 on Linux/Unix. Amazon Web Services AWS-C-IO 0.10.4 on Linux/Unix.
CVE-2021-40831 2 Amazon, Apple 3 Amazon Web Services Aws-c-io, Amazon Web Services Internet Of Things Device Software Development Kit V2, Macos 2021-12-02 6.0 MEDIUM 7.2 HIGH
The AWS IoT Device SDK v2 for Java, Python, C++ and Node.js appends a user supplied Certificate Authority (CA) to the root CAs instead of overriding it on macOS systems. Additionally, SNI validation is also not enabled when the CA has been “overridden”. TLS handshakes will thus succeed if the peer can be verified either from the user-supplied CA or the system’s default trust-store. Attackers with access to a host’s trust stores or are able to compromise a certificate authority already in the host's trust store (note: the attacker must also be able to spoof DNS in this case) may be able to use this issue to bypass CA pinning. An attacker could then spoof the MQTT broker, and either drop traffic and/or respond with the attacker's data, but they would not be able to forward this data on to the MQTT broker because the attacker would still need the user's private keys to authenticate against the MQTT broker. The 'aws_tls_ctx_options_override_default_trust_store_*' function within the aws-c-io submodule has been updated to address this behavior. This issue affects: Amazon Web Services AWS IoT Device SDK v2 for Java versions prior to 1.5.0 on macOS. Amazon Web Services AWS IoT Device SDK v2 for Python versions prior to 1.7.0 on macOS. Amazon Web Services AWS IoT Device SDK v2 for C++ versions prior to 1.14.0 on macOS. Amazon Web Services AWS IoT Device SDK v2 for Node.js versions prior to 1.6.0 on macOS. Amazon Web Services AWS-C-IO 0.10.7 on macOS.
