What is CVE-2023-38699?

The MindsDB AI Virtual Database, a tool for integrating AI/ML models with various data sources, previously allowed connections with SSL certificates disabled by default. This vulnerability, affecting versions prior to 23.7.4.0, could expose applications to man-in-the-middle attacks, as the Requests library accepted connections without verifying SSL certificates. The recent update to version 23.7.4.0 addresses this issue by enforcing SSL certificate checks, ensuring secure data transactions.

Affected Version(s)

mindsdb < 23.7.4.0
