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
An issue was discovered in the Bosch Smart Camera App before 1.3.1 for Android. Due to improperly implemented TLS certificate checks, a malicious actor could potentially succeed in executing a man-in-the-middle attack for some connections. (The Bosch Smart Home App is not affected. iOS Apps are not affected.)

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 · moderate confidence

The Bosch Smart Camera App before version 1.3.1 for Android contains improperly implemented TLS certificate validation checks. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack by presenting a fraudulent certificate, intercepting encrypted communications between the app and its server.

MitigationUpdate the Bosch Smart Camera App to version 1.3.1 or later to obtain proper TLS certificate validation. Until updated, avoid using untrusted networks with the application.

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 Bosch Smart Camera App
    Open the Android Settings app, go to Apps or Applications, then find and select Bosch Smart Camera from the list of installed applications
    Affected if The app is installed on the device
  2. Check the installed version number
    In the Bosch Smart Camera App info screen, look at the 'Version' or 'App version' field displayed under the app name
    Affected if The version number shown is lower than 1.3.1 (for example, 1.3.0, 1.2.x, or any version below 1.3.1)
  3. Verify the exact version format
    Note that version 1.3.1 may also appear as 1.3.1 (build X) - ensure you are comparing the numeric portion before any build number
    Affected if The version is 1.3.0 or any version that starts with a number less than 1.3.1 when read as a decimal

If the Bosch Smart Camera App is installed and its displayed version number is less than 1.3.1, the device is vulnerable to CVE-2019-7728.
