Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SkyDrive Assistant (aka com.dhh.sky) version 2.1

Description The issue concerns the failure of the application to 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 2.1, consider disabling SSL connections until a patch is available that properly verifies X.509 certificates. Restrict access to sensitive information to minimize the risk of exploitation.
