CVE-2014-7359
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 MAPA DA MINA (aka com.wMAPADAMINA) application 0.1 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 MAPA DA MINA Android application (version 0.1) fails to validate X.509 certificates when establishing SSL/TLS connections with remote servers. This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to intercept communications by presenting forged certificates, enabling them to spoof servers and capture sensitive data transmitted by the application.

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 app is installedOn the Android device, go to Settings > Apps > Application Manager (or Apps) and look for an app named 'Mapa Da Mina', 'MAPA DA MINA', or 'Elsio Mapa Da Mina'. Alternatively, use adb: 'adb shell pm list packages' to list all installed packages and search for any containing 'mapa' or 'mina'.Affected if The application is found on the device with the name matching the affected product.
-
Verify the installed versionIn Settings > Apps > [Mapa Da Mina] > App info, check the version number. It should display as '0.1' or version code 1. Use adb: 'adb shell dumpsys package [package_name]' to get version details.Affected if The version listed is exactly 0.1.
-
Confirm the app handles sensitive dataReview the app's functionality and permissions. Check if it transmits user credentials, personal information, financial data, or other sensitive content over the network. Examine AndroidManifest.xml for network-related permissions (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE).Affected if The app has network permissions and processes sensitive user data.
-
Check for SSL validation implementationAnalyze the application APK (obtain via 'adb pull /data/app/[package_name].apk' or use a rooting method) using static analysis tools (like jadx, apktool, or MobSF). Search the decompiled source code for TrustManager implementation, hostname verification (HostnameVerifier), and certificate validation calls. Look for custom TrustManager that accepts all certificates or disables validation.Affected if The code shows no proper certificate validation (e.g., custom TrustManager that trusts all certs, or validation is commented out/disabled) in network communication classes.
A user is affected if the Mapa Da Mina application version 0.1 is installed on their Android device and the app transmits sensitive data over the network without proper SSL/TLS certificate validation.

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 chain validation using Android's standard TrustManager or certificate pinning to ensure the app only accepts certificates from trusted, legitimate CAs.
