CVE-2014-7487
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 ADT Aesthetic Dentistry Today (aka com.magazinecloner.aestheticdentistry) application @7F080181 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 Android application ADT Aesthetic Dentistry Today (com.magazinecloner.aestheticdentistry) does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, allowing man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and intercept sensitive information by presenting a crafted certificate.

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.
-
Check if ADT Aesthetic Dentistry Today app is installedOn the Android device, go to Settings > Apps > All Apps, or use ADB command: pm list packages | grep aestheticdentistry. The package name is com.magazinecloner.aestheticdentistry.Affected if The package com.magazinecloner.aestheticdentistry is present on the device.
-
Determine the installed version of the appIn Settings > Apps > Apps > ADT Aesthetic Dentistry Today, view the Version info. Or use ADB: dumpsys package com.magazinecloner.aestheticdentistry | grep versionName.Affected if The installed version matches 7f080181.
-
Verify the app handles SSL/TLS connectionsSince this vulnerability is in the app code itself (lack of X.509 certificate validation), the presence of the vulnerable version indicates the flaw exists. No direct config or setting to check - the vulnerability is inherent to the app code when connecting to SSL servers.Affected if The app is installed at the affected version and makes network requests to SSL servers.
If the ADT Aesthetic Dentistry Today app with package name com.magazinecloner.aestheticdentistry is installed at version 7f080181, the device is affected by this CVE because the app does not validate SSL certificates, allowing man-in-the-middle attacks on its network traffic.

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 chain validation in the Android application by using a custom TrustManager that validates certificates correctly, or implement certificate pinning for known server certificates.
