Technical details

The vulnerability exists in ajax/reports.php due to the improper configuration of cURL options. Specifically, the application sets CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to false and fails to set CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST when performing Google Maps Directions API lookups during incident report generation. This lack of certificate validation allows an attacker with Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) capabilities to present a forged certificate. Successful exploitation enables the interception, monitoring, or modification of outbound requests and responses, potentially exposing sensitive API keys or session data. The issue is resolved in version 3.44.2.
