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 · uneditedOSS Http Request (Apache Cordova Plugin) 6 is affected by: Missing SSL certificate validation. The impact is: certificate spoofing. The component is: use this library when https communication. The attack vector is: certificate spoofing.
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 Apache Cordova Plugin 'oss-http-request' version 6 fails to validate SSL certificates during HTTPS communications, allowing attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks through certificate spoofing.

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 oss-http-request plugin is installedSearch your project dependencies (package.json, plugins folder, or config.xml) for 'oss-http-request' or 'http-request' Cordova plugin referencesAffected if The plugin is present in the project dependencies
-
Determine the plugin versionCheck the installed version in node_modules/cordova-plugin-oss-http-request/package.json, or run 'cordova plugin list' and examine the version column for oss-http-requestAffected if Version is exactly 6.0 (the affected version)
-
Verify HTTPS usage in the applicationSearch source code for calls to the plugin using HTTPS URLs (https://) or for any httpRequest calls that handle sensitive data over networkAffected if The application uses this plugin to make HTTPS requests to external services
-
Check for SSL validation implementationReview the plugin's JavaScript source code (typically in www/oss-http-request.js or similar) for SSL certificate validation logic such as 'rejectUnauthorized', 'strictSSL', or certificate pinning implementationsAffected if No SSL certificate validation code is present in the plugin implementation
You are affected if the oss-http-request plugin version 6.0 is installed and your application uses it to make HTTPS requests without additional certificate validation safeguards.

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 dataUpdate to a patched version of the plugin that implements proper SSL certificate validation, or implement certificate pinning in the application as a defense-in-depth measure.
