CVE-2023-38699
MindsDB 'Call to requests with verify=False disabling SSL certificate checks, security issue.' issue
Vulnerability Description
MindsDB's AI Virtual Database allows developers to connect any AI/ML model to any datasource. Prior to version 23.7.4.0, a call to requests with `verify=False` disables SSL certificate checks. This rule enforces always verifying SSL certificates for methods in the Requests library. In version 23.7.4.0, certificates are validated by default, which is the desired behavior.
