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
"Kura Sushi Official App" provided by EPG, Inc. is vulnerable to improper certificate validation. A man-in-the-middle attack may allow eavesdropping on, or altering, the communication on push notifications between the affected application and the relevant server.

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 Kura Sushi Official App by EPG, Inc. fails to properly validate SSL/TLS certificates when establishing connections for push notifications. This improper certificate validation allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to intercept, eavesdrop on, or modify push notification traffic between the app and its server.

MitigationUpdate the application to a version that implements proper certificate validation, such as certificate pinning or proper trust chain verification, to prevent MITM attacks on push notification communications.

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 the installed app version
    On iOS: Settings > Apps > Kura Sushi Official App > Version. On Android: Settings > Apps > Kura Sushi Official App > App info > Version. Alternatively, open the app store listing for the app and check the version displayed.
    Affected if The installed version is unknown or unpatched, since no fixed version was provided in the CVE data.
  2. Confirm the app receives push notifications
    Check if push notifications are enabled in the app settings. On iOS: Settings > Apps > Kura Sushi Official App > Notifications. On Android: Settings > Apps > Kura Sushi Official App > Notifications. Look for any notification-related settings within the app itself.
    Affected if Push notifications are enabled and the app version is unpatched, because the vulnerability affects push notification traffic.
  3. Verify network traffic handling
    Inspect if the device uses a VPN or proxy that could intercept TLS traffic. Check device network settings and any security software installed that performs SSL inspection.
    Affected if A VPN, proxy, or SSL inspection tool is active and the app version is unpatched, as these could potentially exploit the improper certificate validation.
  4. Check for certificate pinning indicators
    This requires reverse-engineering the app binary or monitoring network traffic with a tool like Burp Suite or Charles Proxy to see if the app validates certificates beyond the default OS trust store. This is a technical investigation step.
    Affected if The app does not implement certificate pinning or proper trust chain verification for push notification endpoints.

A user is affected if they are running any version of the Kura Sushi Official App that has not been updated to implement proper certificate validation, and they have push notifications enabled.
