Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation via the threatMatches:find function in the Google Safe Browsing Lookup API, which does not properly handle SSL errors. An attacker can manipulate threat data by intercepting or spoofing responses during the lookup process.

Note: This is only exploitable if the Lookup API is enabled in the configuration.
