Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions tvguide (aka kenneth.tvguide) application version 1.9.14

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

Recommendations For version 1.9.14, 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 application's access to sensitive information until a proper fix is applied.
