CVE-2014-7764
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 Semper Invicta Fitness (aka com.semper.invicta.fitness) application 1.1 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 Semper Invicta Fitness Android application version 1.1 fails to validate X.509 certificates when establishing SSL/TLS connections to backend servers. This allows an attacker positioned on the same network to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, intercepting and potentially modifying encrypted traffic by presenting a malicious 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 Semper Invicta Fitness app is installedOn the Android device, go to Settings > Apps > Applications Manager and look for 'Semper Invicta Fitness' in the list of installed applications, or use the command 'adb shell pm list packages | grep semper' if ADB is availableAffected if The Semper Invicta Fitness application is present on the device
-
Verify the installed application versionIn Settings > Apps > Applications Manager > Semper Invicta Fitness, tap on the app and check the 'Version' or 'Version info' field displayed under the app nameAffected if The version displayed is exactly 1.1 (version code 1.1)
-
Confirm SSL/TLS certificate validation behaviorSince the vulnerability is in the app's SSL implementation, use a network interception tool (such as Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP) configured with an untrusted certificate on a test device running the app. Attempt to intercept traffic from the app to its backend serverAffected if The app successfully establishes SSL/TLS connections and transmits data despite the proxy presenting an untrusted/malicious certificate, indicating certificate validation is not occurring
A user is affected if they have Semper Invicta Fitness version 1.1 installed on an Android device and the app communicates with backend servers using SSL/TLS without rejecting invalid certificates.

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 SSL certificate validation in the Android application, preferably through certificate pinning or using standard trust manager validation to ensure the app only accepts certificates from trusted Certificate Authorities.
