CVE-2013-2317
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe Sleipnir Mobile application 2.9.1 and earlier and Sleipnir Mobile Black Edition application 2.9.1 and earlier for Android allow remote attackers to spoof the address bar via vectors involving the opening of a new window.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Sleipnir Mobile and Sleipnir Mobile Black Edition browsers for Android versions 2.9.1 and earlier contain an address bar spoofing vulnerability. Attackers can manipulate the address bar display when opening new windows, causing the browser to show a legitimate URL while actually loading a malicious page. This is a classic UI redress/address bar spoofing vulnerability where proper URL validation is not performed during new window creation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Sleipnir Mobile browser is installedCheck Android device for Sleipnir Mobile or Sleipnir Mobile Black Edition browser application in installed apps listAffected if Either Sleipnir Mobile or Sleipnir Mobile Black Edition browser is present on the device
-
Identify installed browser versionNavigate to Android device Settings > Apps > Sleipnir Mobile > Version information to view the installed version numberAffected if Version number is 2.9.1 or lower, or matches any of these specific versions: 1.0.0, 1.1.0, 1.2.0, 1.3.0, 1.4.0, 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.6.0, 1.7.0, 1.7.1, 2.0.0
