CVE-2026-48697
FastNetMon Community Edition through 1.2.9 does not verify TLS certificates on outbound HTTPS connections. The execute_web_request_secure() function in src/fast_library.cpp creates a boost::asio::ssl::context with tls_client mode and calls set_default_verify_paths() to load CA certificates, but never calls set_verify_mode(boost::asio::ssl::verify_peer). Without this call, OpenSSL performs the TLS handshake without validating the server's certificate chain, making all HTTPS connections vulnerable
