| Summary | XMPP may not enforce TLS |

| CVE Number | CVE-2009-3026 |
| Discovered By | bugdave in ticket |
| Fixed In Release | 2.6.0 |
The XMPP protocol plugin can be tricked into establishing an insecure connection by a malicious man in the middle by causing libpurple to use the older IQ-based login and then not offering TLS/SSL. The “require TLS/SSL” option was introduced in 2.2.0.
Respect the “require TLS/SSL” preference for this type of connection.
