CVE-2020-8987

HIGH

Avast AntiTrack < 1.5.1.172 and AVG AntiTrack < 2.0.0.178 - Improper Certificate Validation

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

Avast AntiTrack before 1.5.1.172 and AVG Antitrack before 2.0.0.178 proxies traffic to HTTPS sites but does not validate certificates, and thus a man-in-the-middle can host a malicious website using a self-signed certificate. No special action necessary by the victim using AntiTrack with "Allow filtering of HTTPS traffic for tracking detection" enabled. (This is the default configuration.)
