What is CVE-2017-1200?

IBM BigFix Compliance versions 1.7 through 1.9.91 are susceptible to a vulnerability where the software fails to validate certificates correctly. This flaw can be exploited by attackers using man-in-the-middle techniques, potentially allowing them to impersonate a trusted entity. Consequently, the affected software may unintentionally connect to malicious hosts or accept spoofed data disguised as coming from a legitimate source. This can result in unauthorized access and compromise of sensitive information within the affected environments.
