TLS certificate verification disabled
The HTTP or TLS client accepts invalid certificates. Attackers on the network can impersonate the upstream service and intercept credentials or data.
What the check contributes
Rule LANG004runs as part of CodeCordon's deterministic static-analysis pass. When it matches, the finding includes the source file, line number, severity, explanation, and a redacted snippet so the developer can inspect the evidence directly.
Recommended remediation
Enable certificate and hostname verification. Install the correct CA certificate for private services instead of bypassing trust checks.
How to use this result
- 1. Open the reported line. Confirm the match is active application code rather than a fixture, example, or false positive.
- 2. Apply the remediation in context. Preserve the intended behavior while removing the dangerous pattern.
- 3. Scan again. Verify the known pattern no longer appears, then continue with tests and any runtime or human security review appropriate to the application.
Limits of this check
A match is a review signal, not proof of exploitability. No match means only that this specific known pattern was not found in the applicable files. It does not rule out equivalent code, business-logic flaws, runtime vulnerabilities, or novel attack paths.
