CVE-2014-7726
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 Golosinas Simpson1 (aka com.wGolosinasSimpson1) application 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 confidenceThe Golosinas Simpson1 Android application version 0.1 fails to validate X.509 certificates when establishing SSL/TLS connections, allowing man-in-the-middle attackers to intercept traffic by presenting forged certificates.

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 if Golosinas Simpson1 app is installedOpen Android Settings > Apps > Applications Manager and search for 'Golosinas Simpson1' or 'Golosinassimpson', or use ADB command: adb shell pm list packages | grep -i golosinasAffected if The app is present on the device
-
Check the installed version numberIn Android Settings > Apps > Application Manager, tap on Golosinas Simpson1 and view the Version or under App Info look for version information, or use ADB: adb shell dumpsys package com.golosinas.simpson (package name may vary)Affected if The version shown is 0.1 exactly
-
Verify the app uses network connectionsCheck if the application requires internet connectivity by reviewing its permissions (android.permission.INTERNET) in the app manifest or by observing network activity during useAffected if The app has internet permission and makes network requests
-
Confirm lack of certificate validationSince this is a code-level vulnerability in version 0.1, the app does not validate SSL/TLS certificates by default - no special configuration check needed. The vulnerability exists in the application's code itselfAffected if The app makes SSL/TLS connections without proper certificate validation (this is inherent to version 0.1)
If the Golosinas Simpson1 Android application version 0.1 is installed and uses network connections, the device is affected by this CVE because the app fails to validate X.509 certificates during SSL/TLS connections.

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 certificate validation in the Android application using a TrustManager that validates the certificate chain or implements certificate pinning for expected server certificates.
