cwe-295-insecure-tls-trust-manager

Fix CWE-295 vulnerabilities by replacing overly permissive custom TrustManagers with secure implementations using the system default trust store or properly initialized custom keystores to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.

Java applications fail security audits for SSL configuration when using insecure patterns like custom TrustManagers that accept all certificates, exposing the application to man-in-the-middle attacks over TLS.

Implement a secure HostnameVerifier in Java by applying industry-standard secure practices for certificate validation, ensuring proper initialization of SSLContext with default system trust stores or custom-loaded keystores.

Yes, you can use a custom-loaded keystore for SSLContext initialization in Java to provide secure TLS configuration while maintaining control over your certificate validation process.

The best way to remediate SAST findings for insecure TLS in Java is to implement secure TrustManager and HostnameVerifier patterns using the system default trust store or properly configured custom keystores.

You need to secure TLS configuration in Java applications when handling sensitive data over TLS/SSL, especially when security reviews or SAST findings identify overly permissive TrustManagers or HostnameVerifiers.
