Quick fix

PYSEC-2012-17 — tweepy: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'tweepy>=2.3.1'

Details

Tweepy does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate, related to use of the Python httplib library.
