CVE-2014-6825
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 Teatro Franco Parenti (aka com.mintlab.mx.teatroparenti) application 1.4.0 for Android does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.
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 Teatro Franco Parenti Android application version 1.4.0 fails to validate X.509 certificates from SSL servers, allowing man-in-the-middle attackers to intercept encrypted communications by presenting crafted certificates. This enables server spoofing and theft of sensitive data transmitted between the app and backend.

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.
-
Check if Teatro Franco Parenti app is installedOn the Android device, go to Settings > Apps > Apps, or use 'adb shell pm list packages' to list installed packages. Look for package name containing 'teatrofrancoparenti' or 'Teatro Franco Parenti'.Affected if The app is not installed on the device.
-
Identify the installed version of Teatro Franco ParentiIn Settings > Apps > Teatro Franco Parenti > App info, check the Version field. Alternatively, use 'adb shell dumpsys package [package_name]' and look for versionName or versionCode.Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.4.0 (versionName = 1.4.0).
-
Confirm network communication capabilityReview the app's permissions in Settings > Apps > Teatro Franco Parenti > Permissions. Look for INTERNET or network-related permissions, or use 'adb shell dumpsys package [package_name]' to list declared permissions.Affected if The app has INTERNET permission and connects to backend services.
-
Assess SSL validation exposure (if app is in use)If the app is actively used, capture network traffic using a proxy (like Burp Suite) with a self-signed certificate. Attempt to intercept SSL traffic - if the app accepts the proxy's certificate without warning, certificate validation is likely missing.Affected if The app accepts an untrusted/self-signed certificate and completes SSL connections through an intercepting proxy.
The environment is affected only if Teatro Franco Parenti app version 1.4.0 is installed and actively makes network connections to its backend services.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement proper X.509 certificate validation using Android's network security configuration or a custom TrustManager that verifies the complete certificate chain against trusted CAs.
