CVE-2014-7027
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 Esercizi per le donne (aka com.rareartifact.eserciziperledonne6D5578C6) application 1.0 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 Android application fails to validate X.509 certificates from SSL servers, allowing man-in-the-middle attackers on the same network to spoof legitimate servers by presenting a crafted certificate and intercept sensitive data in transit.

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.
-
Identify if the vulnerable app is installedCheck the installed Android applications on the device for 'Pimpstore Esercizi Per Le Donne' by going to Settings > Apps > All Apps and searching for the app name, or use ADB command: pm list packages | grep -i pimpstoreAffected if The app 'Pimpstore Esercizi Per Le Donne' is present on the device
-
Verify the app versionTap on the app in Settings > Apps > All Apps > Pimpstore Esercizi Per Le Donne and check the version information displayed under 'App info', or use ADB: dumpsys package com.[package-name] | grep versionName (package name must be determined from the installed app)Affected if The installed version is 1 (the affected version)
-
Determine if the app uses network connectivityMonitor network traffic while using the app using a packet capture tool like Wireshark or tPacketCapture on the device, or check app permissions for INTERNET access in Settings > Apps > PermissionsAffected if The app establishes network connections, particularly to SSL-enabled endpoints
-
Assess SSL validation implementation (requires testing or code review)Perform a man-in-the-middle test using a tool like Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP with an invalid/trusted CA certificate and observe if the app accepts the connection despite certificate validation failures, or review the app's source code if available for proper implementation of X.509 certificate validation (e.g., check for custom TrustManager implementations or missing hostname verification)Affected if The app accepts SSL connections when certificate validation should fail (e.g., self-signed cert, expired cert, hostname mismatch)
You are affected if the app 'Pimpstore Esercizi Per Le Donne' version 1 is installed on your Android device and it makes SSL network connections without properly validating X.509 certificates.

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 SSL certificate validation including chain-of-trust verification and hostname checking, preferably using Android's built-in certificate pinning for high-security endpoints.
