Overview

StarscreamHB is a fork of Starscream, a conforming WebSocket (RFC 6455) client library in Swift for iOS and OSX.

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).
