CVE-2025-25305

Home Assistant Core is an open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first. Affected versions are subject to a potential man-in-the-middle attacks due to missing SSL certificate verification in the project codebase and used third-party libraries. In the past, aiohttp-session/request had the parameter verify_ssl to control SSL certificate verification. This was a boolean value. In aiohttp 3.0, this parameter was deprecated in favor of the ssl parameter. Only when ssl is set to None or provided with a correct configured SSL context the standard SSL certificate verification will happen. When migrating integrations in Home Assistant and libraries used by Home Assistant, in some cases the verify_ssl parameter value was just moved to the new ssl parameter. This resulted in these integrations and 3rd party libraries using request.ssl = True, which unintentionally turned off SSL certificate verification and opened up a man-in-the-middle attack vector. T
