A insecure TrustManager is an implementation of the TrustManager interface, where the checkServerTrusted method trusts any certificate because it never throws a CertificateException.
As the TrustManager trusts any certificate, an attacker can create a self-signed certificate that will be accepted as any certificate is trusted. This leads to a MiTM attack against the connection thereby stealing sensitive secrets such as login data or other tokens is possible.
