CVE-2024-50691
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 · uneditedSunGrow iSolarCloud Android app V2.1.6.20241104 and prior suffers from Missing SSL Certificate Validation. The app explicitly ignores certificate errors and is vulnerable to MiTM attacks. Attackers can impersonate the iSolarCloud server and communicate with the Android app.
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 SunGrow iSolarCloud Android app V2.1.6.20241104 and prior fails to validate SSL/TLS certificates, explicitly ignoring certificate errors. This allows attackers on the same network to perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks, impersonate the iSolarCloud server, intercept communications, and potentially inject malicious responses into the app's data stream.

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.
-
Check installed iSolarCloud app versionOn the Android device, go to Settings > Apps > iSolarCloud (or Sungrowpower Isolarcloud) > App info. Note the version number displayed under the app name.Affected if The displayed version is V2.1.6.20241104 or any version earlier than 2.1.6.20241115
-
Verify version number formatConfirm the exact version string shown in the app's 'About' or 'Version' section within the app settings menu.Affected if The version string is less than 2.1.6.20241115 when compared lexicographically or numerically
-
Check APK package version if APK availableIf you have access to the APK file, use a tool like 'aapt dump badging' or APK info apps to extract the versionName and versionCode attributes.Affected if The versionName is 2.1.6.20241104 or prior, or versionCode is lower than the build corresponding to 2.1.6.20241115
You are affected if any device in your environment has the iSolarCloud app installed with version 2.1.6.20241104 or earlier (any version below 2.1.6.20241115), since these versions explicitly ignore SSL/TLS certificate validation errors.

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.
dbcve · scoped2.1.6.20241115
Implement proper SSL certificate validation in the app by removing code that ignores certificate errors and using a properly configured TrustManager or certificate pinning to ensure the app only trusts legitimate iSolarCloud server certificates.
Isolarcloud version 2.1.6.20241115 or later
- Ensure your Android device is connected to a trusted network
- Open Google Play Store and search for "iSolarCloud" by Sungrow
- Update the iSolarCloud app to the latest available version
- Alternatively, visit en.sungrowpower.com and download the latest iSolarCloud Android app from the official download section
- Verify the updated app version is 2.1.6.20241115 or later
- After updating, log in to the app and confirm normal functionality
