What is CVE-2014-0072?

The Apache Cordova File-Transfer plugin for iOS prior to version 0.4.2 and Cordova versions 2.4.0 through 2.9.0 contain a vulnerability that enables remote attackers to impersonate SSL servers. This occurs due to the trustAllHosts option being set to true by default, which undermines the verification of SSL server authenticity, exposing applications to potential security breaches.
