Re-enable certificate validation in HTTP requests (verify=True in requests).

[zeropath-ai]

Summary

• The Vulnerability Description: Certificate verification has been explicitly disabled in the HTTP request, which permits insecure connections to untrusted servers.
• This Fix: Re-enable certificate validation by removing the verify=False parameter in the HTTP request made using the requests library.
• The Cause of the Issue: Explicitly disabling certificate validation using the verify=False parameter in the requests.get method, which prevents proper checking of the server's SSL certificate.
• The Patch Implementation: Updated the requests.get call by removing the verify=False parameter from http_data_receiver.py, ensuring that certificate validation is re-enabled and HTTP requests are made over secure connections.
