TLS server certificate validation is disabled with a callback that always returns true (or DangerousAcceptAnyServerCertificateValidator). Any machine-in-the-middle can impersonate the server.

Category: SECURITY · Engine rule severity: ERROR

How to fix it

Remove the callback. To trust a private CA or pin a certificate, validate the chain against that CA/thumbprint inside the callback and return false otherwise.
