What is CVE-2021-39365?

GNOME Grilo versions up to 0.3.13 are vulnerable due to a failure in enabling TLS certificate verification on SoupSessionAsync objects. This oversight can leave users exposed to malicious actors who may exploit this flaw to execute Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks, potentially intercepting and manipulating the data being transferred. As the verification process is not activated by default, it's crucial for users to apply necessary patches or updates to safeguard their network connections against possible exploitation.
