Currently unrated

CVE Published:
22 October 2012

Summary

Libsocialweb versions before 0.25.20 contain a vulnerability where components (services/twitter/twitter-contact-view.c and services/twitter/twitter-item-view.c) automatically establish a connection to Twitter without user credentials. This behavior can leave users vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, enabling remote attackers to access sensitive information without the user’s consent. Proper authentication mechanisms and secure connection practices are crucial to mitigate such risks.
