CVSS 3.0
6.5 mediumCVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:NCVE-2013-7449
The ssl_do_connect function in common/server.c in HexChat before 2.10.2, XChat, and XChat-GNOME does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
