Description (last modified by )
words.protocols.jabber.xmlstream's TLSInitiatingInitializer is not checking TLS certificate, and has not option to do so. As a result, any certificate can be used without alert.
The ssl.CertificateOptions in TLSInitiatingInitializer.onProceed method should have an option (probably activated by default) to set trustRoot = ssl.platformTrust().
I set this as a defect and high priority because it's a security issue (TLS encryption is mandatory in XMPP since 2014).

No need to apologize. We're all volunteers here :).
Ralph is probably going to take over the fix for this PR, but there are going to be a number of follow-up issues which we'd be delighted to have your help with :).

Created a more comprehensive PR for this, including the ability to pass custom certificate options. https://github.com/twisted/twisted/pull/1147
