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 iRemoconWiFi App for Android version 4.1.7 and earlier 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 iRemoconWiFi Android application versions 4.1.7 and earlier fails to validate X.509 certificates during SSL/TLS handshake with remote servers. This classic certificate validation bypass allows man-in-the-middle attackers to intercept encrypted communications by presenting arbitrary certificates, enabling eavesdropping and data exfiltration.

MitigationUpdate the iRemoconWiFi app to a version newer than 4.1.7 that implements proper X.509 certificate chain validation, or avoid using the app on untrusted networks.

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. Locate the iRemoconWiFi app on the Android device
    Open Settings > Apps on the Android device and search for iRemoconWiFi, or use ADB with command: adb shell pm list packages | grep -i remocon
    Affected if The app iRemoconWiFi is found installed on the device
  2. Determine the installed version of iRemoconWiFi
    In Settings > Apps > iRemoconWiFi, view the version information under App info, or use ADB command: adb shell dumpsys package <package_name> | grep versionName
    Affected if The displayed version number is 4.1.7 or lower
  3. Compare version against affected range
    Review the version number obtained from the previous step. The affected range is any version <= 4.1.7
    Affected if The installed version is 4.1.7 or any earlier version number

If the iRemoconWiFi app is installed and its version is 4.1.7 or lower, the device is vulnerable to CVE-2018-0553 due to missing X.509 certificate validation.
