CVE-2014-7063
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 Bikers Romagna (aka com.bikers.romagna) 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 Bikers Romagna Android application version 1.0 fails to validate X.509 certificates from SSL servers, allowing attackers to intercept sensitive data by presenting fraudulent certificates in a man-in-the-middle attack. The app essentially accepts any certificate presented by the server, bypassing the fundamental SSL/TLS trust model.

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 the installed Bikers Romagna app versionCheck the app version in the device's Application Manager, Google Play Store listing, or by inspecting the APK file's metadata (versionName and versionCode in AndroidManifest.xml)Affected if The installed version is 1.0 (any build of version 1.0)
-
Confirm the app uses network connectionsReview the app's AndroidManifest.xml for INTERNET permission and any network-related permissions. Observe network traffic using a proxy or packet capture tool to verify SSL/TLS connections are being made to remote serversAffected if The app establishes SSL/TLS connections to remote servers without validating certificates
-
Test for certificate validation bypassPerform a man-in-the-middle test using a proxy with a self-signed or untrusted certificate. Attempt to intercept SSL traffic between the app and its server. If the app accepts the untrusted certificate and completes the connection, certificate validation is not properly implementedAffected if The app accepts and completes connections using invalid, self-signed, or untrusted certificates
-
Verify proper certificate validation implementationIf possible, inspect the app's source code or decompiled APK for custom TrustManager implementations, certificate pinning logic, or check if the default SSLContext is properly configured with a validating TrustManagerAffected if No proper X.509 certificate validation is found in the code (no custom TrustManager, no certificate pinning, or validation is disabled/overridden)
A user is affected if they have Bikers Romagna version 1.0 installed and the app communicates over SSL/TLS without properly validating server 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 using a custom TrustManager that validates the certificate chain, or employ certificate pinning to trust only specific certificates or public keys.
