Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation when the CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE is enabled and the CURLSSLOPT_EARLYDATA option is set in CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS. An attacker can intercept and obtain sensitive information by impersonating a server and exploiting the reuse of cached SSL sessions before certificate verification is enforced. This is only exploitable if early data is enabled and SSL session ID caching is not disabled.
