CVE-2025-65827
📋 TL;DR
This CVE describes a mobile application vulnerability where the app allows clear text HTTP traffic to all domains, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks. An attacker can intercept, inspect, and modify traffic between the app and its API server, potentially compromising user accounts. All users of the vulnerable mobile application are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- Meatmeet Pro mobile application

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete account takeover if attacker intercepts authentication tokens or cracks MD5 hashed credentials, leading to unauthorized access, data theft, and potential lateral movement.
Likely Case
Session hijacking, credential theft, and manipulation of API requests resulting in unauthorized actions or data exposure.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper TLS enforcement and network segmentation, though some risk remains from internal threats.
🎯 Exploit Status
Attack requires network position to intercept traffic; tools like Burp Suite or mitmproxy can be used.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None provided in references
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Update mobile application to version enforcing HTTPS only. 2. Modify AndroidManifest.xml to set android:usesCleartextTraffic="false". 3. Implement proper Network Security Configuration requiring TLS.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Enforce HTTPS at network layer
allUse firewall or proxy to block HTTP traffic to API domains
Certificate pinning implementation
allImplement certificate pinning in app to prevent MITM even if TLS is bypassed
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict app usage to trusted networks only (corporate VPN/WiFi)
- Implement mobile device management (MDM) to enforce security policies
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Use network monitoring tools (Wireshark, mitmproxy) to see if app communicates over HTTP; check AndroidManifest.xml for usesCleartextTraffic setting.Check Version:
Check app version in settings; no specific command provided in references.Verify Fix Applied:
Confirm all API calls use HTTPS; test with MITM tools to verify traffic cannot be intercepted in plain text.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- HTTP requests to API endpoints
- Failed TLS handshakes followed by HTTP fallback
Network Indicators:
- Plain text traffic to API domains on port 80
- Lack of TLS encryption in mobile app traffic
SIEM Query:
source="firewall" dest_port=80 AND (dest_ip=api_server_ip) AND app="mobile_app_name"
