What is CVE-2021-39360?

In libzapojit, particularly in the zpj-skydrive.c component prior to version 0.0.3, there is a significant security issue where the SoupSessionSync objects fail to enable TLS certificate verification. This oversight compromises users by exposing them to potential Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attacks, allowing malicious entities to intercept and manipulate network traffic. This situation underscores the importance of ensuring robust TLS implementations to safeguard communication from unauthorized access.
