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
Some analytics data was sent using HTTP rather than HTTPS. This was addressed by no longer sending this analytics data. This issue is fixed in Texture 5.11.10 for iOS, Texture 4.22.0.4 for Android. An attacker in a privileged network position may be able to intercept analytics data.

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

Analytics data was transmitted in plaintext over unencrypted HTTP instead of HTTPS, allowing a man-in-the-middle attacker on a privileged network to intercept sensitive analytics information. The vendor addressed this by completely removing the analytics data transmission rather than simply encrypting it.

MitigationUpdate Texture to version 5.11.10 or higher on iOS, or version 4.22.0.4 or higher on Android to receive the fix that removes the vulnerable analytics transmission.

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. Identify if Apple Texture is installed
    Check your device for the Texture app (icon shows a blue 'T' or 'Texture' label). On iOS, look in Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Texture. On Android, check Settings > Apps for 'Texture' or check the Google Play Store library.
    Affected if If Texture is installed, proceed to version check.
  2. Determine installed version on iOS
    Open Texture app, tap the profile/settings icon (usually top right), scroll to the bottom of the settings screen where the app version is displayed (format like x.x.x or x.xx.x). Alternatively, go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Texture to see the version.
    Affected if Versions below 5.11.10 are affected on iOS.
  3. Determine installed version on Android
    Open Google Play Store, search for Texture, tap on the app, and view the version number under the app name. Or go to Settings > Apps > Texture and view the version info.
    Affected if Versions below 4.22.0.4 are affected on Android.
  4. Compare against vulnerable version ranges
    Match your identified version: For iOS, check if version is less than 5.11.10. For Android, check if version is less than 4.22.0.4.
    Affected if If the installed version is below 5.11.10 (iOS) or below 4.22.0.4 (Android), the app transmits analytics data over unencrypted HTTP and is vulnerable.

You are affected if Apple Texture is installed and the version is below 5.11.10 on iOS or below 4.22.0.4 on Android, allowing network observers to intercept plaintext analytics data.
