Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NQ Mobile Security & Antivirus version 7.2.16.00

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 7.2.16.00, consider updating to a newer version that properly verifies X.509 certificates to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. As a temporary workaround, restrict the application's access to sensitive information until a patch is available.
