CyberSecurity Researchers have uncovered around 25,000 iOS apps that use old versions of a popular networking library, leaving them open to attackers on the same network viewing encrypted traffic.
The bug affects Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) code in AFNetworking, a networking library developers can use to build components of iOS apps. The framework has been updated three times in the past six weeks, addressing numerous SSL flaws that leave apps vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.
