CVE-2014-7013
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 Funny Photo Color Editor (aka com.doirdeditor.funcloreditor) application 0.0.4 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 Funny Photo Color Editor Android application (version 0.0.4) fails to verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, allowing man-in-the-middle attackers to intercept communications by presenting forged certificates and steal sensitive data.

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 Funny Photo Color Editor app is installedOn the Android device, go to Settings > Apps > Apps manager and search for 'Funny Photo Color Editor', or run 'adb shell pm list packages' to list all installed packages and look for the app package nameAffected if The app is found installed on the device
-
Identify the installed versionIn Settings > Apps > Funny Photo Color Editor, check the version number under 'App info', or use 'adb shell dumpsys package <package_name>' to retrieve version detailsAffected if The installed version is 0.0.4 (exact match)
-
Determine if the app uses network connectionsMonitor network traffic from the device while using the app, or check app permissions for INTERNET access in the manifestAffected if The app has INTERNET permission and makes outbound connections to servers
-
Test for improper SSL certificate validation (if app is installed)Set up a man-in-the-middle proxy (such as Burp Suite or mitmproxy) with an invalid or self-signed certificate, configure the device to trust this proxy, then attempt to use the app's network featuresAffected if The app successfully connects to its servers through the invalid certificate without warning or rejection, indicating certificate validation is bypassed
A user is affected if the Funny Photo Color Editor app version 0.0.4 is installed on their Android device and they use the app to connect to network services, as the app accepts forged SSL certificates allowing potential interception of sensitive data.

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 in the application's network layer using Android's TrustManager and hostname verification; ensure SSL certificate checking is not disabled in HTTP client configurations.
