Vulnerability Details
Vulnerability Description
Exported Activity allows external applications to gain application context and directly launch Gmail with inbox access, bypassing security controls.
Technical Description
- Performed on Android 13 aarch64 - Samsung (Galaxy Tab A7 Lite)
- Using Frida client on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS - Frida server on Samsung Rooted Device.
- The target Activity is exported true. Which means any application may interact with it, given that permissions are provided.
- The attacking host needs to attach the device email to the application; then the account can be used by the application.
The PandoraEntry activity is exported (android:exported="true")
and processes external intents without validation. Below is
the PandoraEntryActivity code:
protected void onCreate(Bundle bundle) {
// ... INITALIZATION CODE ... super.onCreate(bundle);
// BELOW EXTERNAL INTENT ACCEPTED WITHOUT VALIDATION Intent
intent = getIntent();
// ... PROCESSING CONTINUES WITH UNVALIDATED INTENT ...
if (intent.hasExtra(IntentConst.START_FROM_TO_CLASS) &&
SDK.isUniMPSDK()) {
String stringExtra =
intent.getStringExtra(IntentConst.START_FROM_TO_CLASS);
if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(stringExtra) &&
stringExtra.startsWith("io.dcloud.feature.sdk.multi")) {
intent.setClassName(getPackageName(), stringExtra);
intent.removeExtra(IntentConst.START_FROM_TO_CLASS);
}
} else {
intent.putExtra(IntentConst.WEBAPP_SHORT_CUT_CLASS_NAME,
PandoraEntry.class.getName()); intent.setClass(this,
PandoraEntryActivity.class);
}
//UNVALIDATED INTENT FORWARDED startActivity(intent);
overridePendingTransition(0, 0);
}
