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.","published":"2023-08-04T17:53:30.604Z","modified":"2026-07-16T03:46:24.821291771Z","cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"mindsdb","fixedVersion":"23.7.4.0"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/mindsdb/mindsdb/commit/083afcf6567cf51aa7d89ea892fd97689919053b","label":"mindsdb/mindsdb@083afcf"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/mindsdb/mindsdb/releases/tag/v23.7.4.0"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/38xxx/CVE-2023-38699.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/mindsdb/mindsdb/security/advisories/GHSA-8hx6-qv6f-xgcw"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-38699"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/mindsdb/mindsdb/commit/083afcf6567cf51aa7d89ea892fd97689919053b"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-07-16T03:46:24.821291771Z"}}
