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 Inspire Weddings (aka com.magzter.inspireweddings) application 3.0 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 confidence

The Inspire Weddings Android app version 3.0 fails to validate X.509 certificates during SSL/TLS connections, allowing attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks by presenting fraudulent certificates. This enables sensitive data interception and server spoofing.

MitigationImplement proper SSL certificate validation using a TrustManager that validates certificates against trusted Certificate Authorities, ideally combined with certificate pinning for enhanced security.

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. Check if Inspire Weddings app is installed
    On Android device: Go to Settings > Apps > Apps, or use ADB command 'adb shell pm list packages | grep -i inspire'. Check app version in app info screen under 'Version' or 'VersionName'.
    Affected if The app 'Magzter Inspire Weddings' or similar package containing 'inspire' and 'weddings' is installed with version 3.0 or 3 (exact version match required)
  2. Verify app has network permissions
    Decompile APK using apktool or use 'aapt dump badging inspire_weddings.apk' to inspect AndroidManifest.xml. Look for 'android.permission.INTERNET' permission.
    Affected if The app has INTERNET permission, which is required for the SSL validation flaw to be exploitable over the network
  3. Inspect SSL certificate validation code
    Decompile the APK and examine source code for SSL/TLS implementation. Search for HttpsURLConnection, TrustManager, or hostnameVerifier usage. Look for custom implementations that may bypass validation.
    Affected if Code contains custom TrustManager or HostnameVerifier that accepts all certificates, or lacks certificate chain validation entirely (e.g., TrustManager that only checks if certificate is not null)
  4. Test SSL validation behavior
    Use a proxy tool like Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP with a self-signed certificate to intercept traffic from the app. Configure proxy to present an invalid/fraudulent certificate.
    Affected if The app successfully establishes connections through the proxy with an invalid certificate, indicating certificate validation is not occurring
  5. Check for certificate pinning
    Examine the app's network security configuration and code for certificate pinning implementation. Look for pinning libraries or custom X509TrustManager implementations.
    Affected if No certificate pinning is implemented, and the app accepts connections to arbitrary certificates from untrusted CAs

The environment is affected if Magzter Inspire Weddings version 3.0 is installed and the app accepts SSL connections with invalid or self-signed certificates without user warning.
