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 Fabasoft Cloud (aka com.fabasoft.android.cmis.folio_cloud) application 3.0.1 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 confidence

The Fabasoft Cloud Android app version 3.0.1 fails to validate X.509 certificates when establishing SSL/TLS connections, allowing attackers on the same network to intercept communications via man-in-the-middle attacks and capture sensitive data transmitted to the backend server.

MitigationImplement proper SSL certificate validation in the app, including verification of the certificate chain, hostname verification, and checking certificate expiration. Users should update to a patched version once available.

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 Fabasoft Cloud Android app is installed
    On the Android device, go to Settings > Apps > Apps, or use ADB command: 'pm list packages | grep fabasoft'
    Affected if The Fabasoft Cloud app package is present on the device
  2. Determine the installed version of the Fabasoft Cloud app
    In Settings > Apps > Fabasoft Cloud, view the Version information under App info, or use ADB: 'dumpsys package com.fabasoft.cloud | grep versionName'
    Affected if The version displayed is exactly 3.0.1
  3. Confirm the app connects to a backend server
    Monitor network traffic from the device while using the app, or check if the app is configured with a server URL endpoint
    Affected if The app transmits data to a backend server over SSL/TLS without proper certificate validation

You are affected if the Fabasoft Cloud Android app version 3.0.1 is installed and used to connect to backend servers, enabling man-in-the-middle attackers on the same network to intercept sensitive communications.
