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 · unedited
The IBM Notes Traveler application before 9.0.1.3 for Android lacks a warning message during selection of an HTTP session, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network during a session in which the user had intended to use HTTPS.

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 confidence

The IBM Notes Traveler Android application before version 9.0.1.3 fails to display a warning message when users select an HTTP session instead of HTTPS. This creates a risk where users may believe they are using encrypted communication when they are actually transmitting data in plaintext, enabling network sniffing attacks to capture sensitive information.

MitigationUpgrade to IBM Notes Traveler version 9.0.1.3 or later, which implements a warning message alerting users when they select an unencrypted HTTP session.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check IBM Notes Traveler Android version
    Open the IBM Notes Traveler Android app, go to Settings > About, or check the app version in the device's Apps settings to find the exact version number
    Affected if Version is 9.0.1.2 or earlier
  2. Verify server connection protocol
    In the IBM Notes Traveler Android app, go to Server configuration or Connection settings and inspect the server URL field to see if it starts with 'http://' instead of 'https://'
    Affected if The configured server URL uses HTTP instead of HTTPS (no encryption)
  3. Confirm missing security warning
    Attempt to connect to a server using HTTP protocol - observe whether the app displays any warning dialog about unencrypted communication before establishing the connection
    Affected if No warning message appears when connecting via HTTP (the vulnerability condition)

You are affected if the installed IBM Notes Traveler Android version is 9.0.1.2 or earlier AND you have configured or are using an HTTP server connection without receiving a warning about unencrypted communication.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
