rules:
- id: bypass-tls-verification
  message: >-
    Checks for redefinitions of functions that check TLS/SSL certificate verification. This can lead to
    vulnerabilities,
    as simple errors in the code can result in lack of proper certificate validation.
    This should only be used for debugging purposes because it leads to vulnerability to MTM attacks.
