1 post found
The `proverbia-scraper.py` script disabled TLS certificate verification on its `requests.get()` call and silenced the resulting security warnings, exposing the scraper to man-in-the-middle attacks. The fix removes the `verify=False` flag and the warning suppression, restoring proper certificate validation while keeping the existing 30-second timeout intact.
