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 Motoring Classics (aka com.aptusi.android.motoring) application 1.8.6 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 confidence

The Motoring Classics Android application version 1.8.6 fails to validate X.509 certificates from SSL servers, allowing man-in-the-middle attackers to intercept traffic by presenting forged certificates and capture sensitive data transmitted by the app.

MitigationUpdate the application to implement proper X.509 certificate chain validation using standard Android secure network APIs, preferably with certificate pinning for high-security endpoints.

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. Verify if Digifi Motoring Classics app is installed
    On the Android device, go to Settings > Apps > Look for 'Motoring Classics' by Digifi, or use command 'adb shell pm list packages' to list installed packages
    Affected if The package com.digifi.motoringclassics or similar Digifi Motoring Classics package is present on the device
  2. Check the installed application version
    In Settings > Apps > Motoring Classics > App info, note the version number displayed (typically shows version name and version code)
    Affected if The version shown is exactly 1.8.6
  3. Confirm version matches affected release
    Compare the installed version number to the affected version 1.8.6 listed in the CVE
    Affected if The installed version is 1.8.6 specifically (version equality, not range)

If the Digifi Motoring Classics Android application version 1.8.6 is installed, the device is affected by this CVE and the app does not validate SSL/TLS certificates, exposing transmitted data to interception.
