Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The CNNMoney Portfolio (aka com.cnn.cnnmoney) application version 1.03

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

Recommendations For version 1.03, 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 untrusted networks to minimize the risk of exploitation.
