Someone at an open WiFi ‘hotspot’ could have a field day with this. Of course, anyone with half a brain should know better than do anything sensitive at all in such places. (this probably eliminates 90% of the population)

Holy crap, this is huge. What’s bad is that the certificate private key is exposed. That means someone can steal the certificate and impersonate the site.
This is open source software that is used on servers (primarily but not exclusively servers running Linux).
