Overview

ch.acra:acra is a library that handles Application Crash Reports for Android.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle (MitM). The library does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
