Description
(1) services/twitter/twitter-contact-view.c and (2) services/twitter/twitter-item-view.c in libsocialweb before 0.25.20 automatically connect to Twitter when no Twitter account is set, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.
