CVE-2012-0741: Input Validation
First published: Fri Dec 28 2012(Updated: )
IBM Security AppScan Enterprise before 8.6.0.2 and Rational Policy Tester before 8.5.0.3 do not validate X.509 certificates during use of the Manual Explore Proxy feature, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary certificate.
