You can delete the comments (or not). --> The Eclipse Foundation is a [Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures](https://cve.mitre.org/) (CVE) Numbering Authority. Creating this ticket initiates **reservation** of a CVE ID for the documented vulnerability. The reserved CVE ID will be posted in a comment below, and kept **confidential** until explicit publication request. > [!note] > To request CVE *publication*, please open a [CVE publication](https://gitlab.eclipse.org/security/cve-assignment/-/issues/new?issuable_template=CVE%20Publication%20Request&issue[confidential]=true) ticket. Please fill in the fields below to draft the CVE record. --- <!-- Required. Specify the project's name (e.g., "Eclipse Dash") and Eclipse Foundation ID, e.g., "technology.dash". --> ## CVE record information **Project name:** Eclipse Vert.x **Project id:** rt.vertx **Versions affected:** [5.0.0,5.0.12] or [5.1.0,5.1.9] or [5.2.0, 5.2.0] **Common Vulnerability Scoring System:** CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N **Summary:** In Eclipse Vert.x versions [5.0.0,5.0.12] or [5.1.0,5.1.9] or [5.2.0, 5.2.0], the Vert.x HTTP client relies on an SSL context for efficiency purpose, the key of this cache should reflect entirely the SSL semantics of the desired SSL properties. It is possible for a client to ask for an SSL context and obtain an SSL context with weaker properties, for instance a context with hostname validation and obtain a context ignoring hostname validation. The impacted component is io.vertx:vertx-core. **Links:** https://github.com/eclipse-vertx/vert.x/security/advisories/GHSA-2vhw-4xwj-r38v **Credits:** Mike Read.
