CVE-2014-7580
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 Thailand Investor News (aka nudecreative.thaistock.set) application 1.39s 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 Thailand Investor News Android application versions prior to 1.39s fails to validate X.509 certificates from SSL servers, enabling man-in-the-middle attackers to intercept sensitive data by presenting fraudulent certificates. This vulnerability stems from improper TrustManager implementation or disabled certificate verification in the app's network layer.

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 the installed Thailand Investor News app versionOn Android device: Go to Settings > Apps > Thailand Investor News > Version information. Or use ADB: `adb shell pm list packages` to find the package, then `adb shell dumpsys package [package_name]` to see version info.Affected if Installed version is less than 1.39s (the app version shown is a number lower than 1.39s)
-
Inspect the app's network security configurationExtract the APK using `adb pull /data/app/[package_name].apk` and decompile with apktool. Check AndroidManifest.xml for network security config and res/xml/network_security_config.xml for TrustManager settings.Affected if Certificate validation is disabled or a custom TrustManager that accepts all certificates is configured
-
Examine the app's SSL/TLS implementation in codeDecompile the APK and inspect smali/Java code in the network/http classes for implementations of TrustManager,HostnameVerifier, or SSLContext that bypass certificate validation (e.g., trustAllCerts, ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER).Affected if Code contains custom TrustManager that accepts all certificates or hostname verification is set to ALLOW_ALL
-
Verify if certificate pinning is implementedSearch the decompiled code for certificate pinning implementations (look for CertificatePinner, KeyStore with custom certificates, or pinned public keys in network configuration files).Affected if Certificate pinning is not implemented and the app relies solely on default system trust store without additional validation
A user is affected if the Thailand Investor News Android app version is below 1.39s AND the app either lacks proper X.509 certificate chain validation or implements a TrustManager that accepts all certificates without pinning.

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 using a correctly configured TrustManager and consider certificate pinning to ensure the app only trusts the intended server's certificate.
