The Zoner AntiVirus Free application for Android does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate, as demonstrated by a server used for updating virus signature files.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-5456 is a hostname-verification flaw in Zoner AntiVirus Free for Android. The app may trust a valid certificate for the wrong server, letting a network-positioned attacker impersonate SSL services, including an update server for virus signatures. Sources do not provide affected versions, CVSS, a named fix, or active exploitation evidence. Exposure is likely limited to Android devices that still run Zoner AntiVirus Free. Risk requires an attacker able to intercept or manipulate the device network path. The source bundle does not identify affected versions or whether current releases remain affected. Treat this as a targeted mobile hygiene issue, not a broad enterprise emergency. Prioritize it if Android devices with this legacy app access corporate email, VPN, or sensitive systems, especially over untrusted networks. Mitigation focus: Inventory managed Android devices for Zoner AntiVirus Free installations.; Remove or replace the app where it is unsupported or unnecessary.; Check Zoner vendor guidance for fixed versions or retirement status..
