Overview
thrift is a Python bindings package for Apache Thrift.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation in the host name check, which stops taking effect on Python 3.12 and later and reports success rather than signalling that no check was performed. An attacker in a MitM position can present a certificate issued for a different host and have the connection accepted, reading and modifying the traffic. This requires network position between the client and the server, and the client must hold the serving certificate's issuer as trusted, since only the name binding goes unverified.
