This rule raises an issue when:
- a JavaMail's javax.mail.Session is created with a Properties object having no
mail.smtp.ssl.checkserveridentity or mail.smtps.ssl.checkserveridentity not configured to true
- a Apache Common Emails's org.apache.commons.mail.SimpleEmail is used with setSSLOnConnect(true) or
setStartTLSEnabled(true) or setStartTLSRequired(true) without a call to setSSLCheckServerIdentity(true)
Email email = new SimpleEmail(); email.setSmtpPort(465); email.setAuthenticator(new DefaultAuthenticator(username, password)); email.setSSLOnConnect(true); // Noncompliant; setSSLCheckServerIdentity(true) should also be called before sending the email email.send();
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory"); // Noncompliant; Session is created without having "mail.smtp.ssl.checkserveridentity" set to true
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication("username@gmail.com", "password");
}
});
Email email = new SimpleEmail(); email.setSmtpPort(465); email.setAuthenticator(new DefaultAuthenticator(username, password)); email.setSSLOnConnect(true); email.setSSLCheckServerIdentity(true); // Compliant email.send();
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");
