Google AdMob - Man-in-the-Middle Attack via Unverified SSL Certificate

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The developer-account sample code in Google AdMob does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
