Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This CVE describes a banking-related iOS app that did not properly check SSL certificates. If a user connected through an attacker-controlled network, the attacker could impersonate the server and potentially capture sensitive information such as login data.
Executive priority
Treat as high priority if the organization supported or used this mobile banking app. The business risk is credential or sensitive data exposure, but urgency depends on whether affected installs remain in use.
Technical view
CVE-2017-9564 affects community-banks-cb2go/id445828071 app 3.1.3 for iOS. The app does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, allowing server spoofing and sensitive information exposure through a man-in-the-middle position using a crafted certificate.
Likely exposure
Exposure appears limited to users or organizations still running the named iOS app version 3.1.3. The source bundle does not identify broader affected products, CPEs, or later fixed versions.
Exploitation context
The CVE description states man-in-the-middle attackers can spoof servers and obtain sensitive information. The bundle does not cite active exploitation, and KEV status is false.
Researcher notes
Evidence is sparse: the CVE record names one iOS app version and one advisory reference, with no CVSS, CWE, CPE, or fixed-version data in the bundle. Avoid expanding scope beyond the named app without vendor evidence.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory managed iOS devices for the named app and version 3.1.3.
- Check vendor or App Store guidance for a fixed or replacement version.
- Remove or block the affected app version if no vendor-confirmed fix exists.
- Advise users not to use the affected app on untrusted networks.
- Prefer vendor-supported mobile banking channels with current TLS validation.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the app identifier id445828071 is present in device inventories.
- Verify installed app versions against the affected 3.1.3 version.
- Review vendor release notes or advisories for certificate-validation fixes.
- Confirm MDM policy blocks or removes affected installs where applicable.
- Document any uncertainty because the source bundle lacks fixed-version details.
