CVE-2021-20832
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 · uneditedInBody App for iOS versions prior to 2.3.30 and InBody App for Android versions prior to 2.2.90(510) contain a vulnerability which may lead to information disclosure only when it works with the body composition analyzer InBody Dial. This may allow an attacker who can connect to the InBody Dial with InBody App may obtain a victim's measurement result measured by InBody Dial.
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 confidenceInBody mobile applications for iOS and Android contain an information disclosure vulnerability when interfacing with InBody Dial body composition analyzers. The flaw allows an attacker who can connect to the InBody Dial device via the InBody App to obtain measurement results from other users who have used the same device, indicating a lack of proper authentication or authorization controls in the device pairing/communication protocol.

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 InBody mobile app is installedCheck your iOS device (App Library or home screen) or Android device (app drawer or home screen) for the InBody app iconAffected if The InBody app is present on your device
-
Check InBody app version on iOSOpen the App Store, tap your profile icon, scroll to InBody app and check the version number, or go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage > InBody to view versionAffected if iOS version is below 2.3.30
-
Check InBody app version on AndroidOpen Google Play Store, search for InBody app, tap to view details and check the version, or go to Settings > Apps > InBody to view version informationAffected if Android version is below 2.2.90 (510)
-
Determine if InBody Dial device pairing is usedOpen the InBody app and check if you have paired or connected to an InBody Dial body composition analyzer deviceAffected if You have paired with an InBody Dial device using the InBody app
You are affected if the InBody app is installed with a version below 2.3.30 on iOS or below 2.2.90 on Android AND you have connected the app to an InBody Dial device, as this creates the condition where other users measurement data could be accessed without authorization.
