Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Follow Mania for Instagram (aka com.followmania) application version 1.2.1

Description The issue allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate, as the application does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers.

Recommendations For version 1.2.1, consider updating the application to a version that properly verifies X.509 certificates from SSL servers to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the application on unsecured networks to minimize the risk of exploitation.
