CVE-2017-5887 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Starscream
to version 2.0.4 or higher.
Overview
Starscream is a conforming WebSocket (RFC 6455) client library in Swift.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to SSL Certificate Bypass. WebSocket.swift
allows an SSL Pinning bypass because pinning occurs in the stream function (this is too late; pinning should occur in the initStreamsWithData
function).
