Commit Message

ssambu July 14, 2023, 3:21 a.m. UTC
HTTP::Tiny before 0.083, a Perl core module since 5.13.9 and available
standalone on CPAN, has an insecure default TLS configuration where
users must opt in to verify certificates.

+Subject: [PATCH] Change verify_SSL default to 1, add ENV var to enable
+ insecure default - Changes the `verify_SSL` default parameter from `0` to `1`
+
+  Based on patch by Dominic Hargreaves:
+  https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/interpreter/perl/-/commit/1490431e40e22052f75a0b3449f1f53cbd27ba92
+
+  CVE: CVE-2023-31486
+
+- Add check for `$ENV{PERL_HTTP_TINY_SSL_INSECURE_BY_DEFAULT}` that
+  enables the previous insecure default behaviour if set to `1`.
+
+  This provides a workaround for users who encounter problems with the
+  new `verify_SSL` default.
+
+  Example to disable certificate checks:
+  ```
+    $ PERL_HTTP_TINY_SSL_INSECURE_BY_DEFAULT=1 ./script.pl
+  ```
+
+- Updates to documentation:
+  - Describe changing the verify_SSL value
+  - Describe the escape-hatch environment variable
+  - Remove rationale for not enabling verify_SSL
+  - Add missing certificate search paths
+  - Replace "SSL" with "TLS/SSL" where appropriate
+  - Use "machine-in-the-middle" instead of "man-in-the-middle"
+

+The variable to override the verify_SSL default differed slightly in the

+
+This commit makes the code use `PERL_HTTP_TINY_SSL_INSECURE_BY_DEFAULT`
+as documented, instead of `PERL_HTTP_TINY_INSECURE_BY_DEFAULT` which was
+missing `SSL_`
