Summary
Python Swift client is vulnerable to Missing SSL Certificate Check
Details

The OpenStack Python client library for Swift (python-swiftclient) from 1.0 before 2.0 does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.
