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 Dil Bilgisi Kurallari (aka com.buronya.dilbilgisi) 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 confidence

The Dil Bilgisi Kurallari Android app version 1.0 fails to verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, allowing man-in-the-middle attackers to intercept encrypted communications by presenting fraudulent certificates.

MitigationImplement proper X.509 certificate validation in the Android application, ideally through certificate pinning or a properly configured TrustManager.

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. Identify if the Dil Bilgisi Kurallari app is installed
    Use 'adb shell pm list packages' or check the device app list for package name containing 'dilbilgisi' or 'buronya'
    Affected if The app is present on the device
  2. Determine the installed version of the app
    Use 'adb shell dumpsys package <package_name>' and look at the versionName and versionCode fields
    Affected if The installed version is 1.0 (versionCode typically 1)
  3. Inspect network traffic behavior
    Set up a proxy like Burp or mitmproxy and attempt to intercept SSL/TLS traffic from the app to its backend servers
    Affected if The app successfully connects to SSL endpoints without certificate validation errors or warnings, allowing traffic interception

A user is affected if the Dil Bilgisi Kurallari app version 1.0 is installed on their Android device and the app communicates with SSL-enabled servers without proper certificate validation.
