NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nim package and not the nim package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. In Nim standard library before 1.4.2, httpClient SSL/TLS certificate verification was disabled by default. Users can upgrade to version 1.4.2 to receive a patch or, as a workaround, set "verifyMode = CVerifyPeer" as documented.
