This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack

EUVDB-ID: #VU57487

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35550

CWE-ID: CWE-300 - Channel Accessible by Non-Endpoint ('Man-in-the-Middle')
