Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Press-Leader (aka com.soln.S95309F65AD59F99CFC2C710A517B0B7E) application version 1.0011.b0011

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 1.0011.b0011, consider implementing certificate verification to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of sensitive information transmission until a proper fix is applied.
