5.9 mediumCVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:NCVE-2016-0818
Medium (5.9) in google android. EPSS 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
The caching functionality in the TrustManagerImpl class in TrustManagerImpl.java in Conscrypt in Android 4.x before 4.4.4, 5.x before 5.1.1 LMY49H, and 6.x before 2016-03-01 mishandles the distinction between an intermediate CA and a trusted root CA, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers by leveraging access to an intermediate CA to issue a certificate, aka internal bug 26232830.
