CVE-2019-6032
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 NTV News24 prior to Ver.3.0.0 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 confidenceNTV News24 versions prior to 3.0.0 fail to validate X.509 certificates when establishing SSL/TLS connections, allowing attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks by presenting fraudulent certificates and intercepting sensitive data.

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 NTV News24 installation and versionLocate the installed NTV News24 application and determine its version number through the application's 'About' dialog, installation directory, or system registry entry for the software.Affected if The installed version is any release prior to 3.0.0 (e.g., 2.x.x, 1.x.x)
-
Confirm SSL/TLS connectivity is enabledInspect the application's configuration settings or network behavior to determine whether it establishes SSL/TLS connections to external services or data feeds.Affected if The application is configured to use HTTPS or SSL/TLS connections for any of its network communications
-
Verify certificate validation behaviorPerform a test MITM scenario using a self-signed or invalid certificate on a proxy and observe whether the application accepts the connection without rejecting the invalid certificate chain.Affected if The application accepts SSL/TLS connections with invalid, expired, or self-signed certificates without user warning or connection rejection
-
Compare against vulnerable version rangeDocument the exact version number found in step 1 and compare it to the affected range: any version less than 3.0.0.Affected if The version number is below 3.0.0 (such as 2.9.5, 2.8.0, 1.5.2, etc.)
The environment is affected if NTV News24 version is below 3.0.0 AND the application uses SSL/TLS connections for network communication.
