CVE-2014-7697

Vulnerability

The Eyvah! Bosandim ozgurum (com.wEyvahBosandimBlog) application version 0.1 for Android fails to properly verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers. This vulnerability affects the application as listed in the CERT/CC vulnerability note VU#582497, which identifies multiple Android applications that do not validate SSL certificates [1][2].

Exploitation

An attacker with network access to the Android device can perform a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack by presenting a crafted certificate. No additional authentication or user interaction is required beyond the device using the app over an HTTPS connection [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation allows the attacker to spoof legitimate servers and obtain sensitive information transmitted by the application. The impact may include credential theft, data disclosure, or arbitrary code execution depending on the app's functionality [1].

Mitigation

The application should no longer be used. Users are advised to access any content provided by this app through alternative means, such as a web browser, which typically implements proper SSL validation. The developer has not released a patched version, and the app may be considered abandoned [1].
