CVE-2020-13955: Missing Authentication for Critical Function
(updated )
HttpUtils#getURLConnection
method disables explicitly hostname verification for HTTPS connections making clients vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. Calcite uses internally this method to connect with Druid and Splunk so information leakage may happen when using the respective Calcite adapters. The method itself is in a utility class so people may use it to create vulnerable HTTPS connections for other applications. From Apache Calcite onwards, the hostname verification will be performed using the default JVM truststore.
