A co-installed app without permissions can declare these authorities and send a crafted VIEW intent to the exported StartActivity, making VLC write attacker-chosen content under an attacker-chosen name in the shared Download directory, overwriting other apps' files when VLC holds All files access.","cvssScore":2.9,"cvssSeverity":"LOW","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","cwes":["CWE-346"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/videolan/vlc-android/blob/3.7.1/application/vlc-android/src/org/videolan/vlc/util/FileUtils.kt#L397-L428","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/videolan/vlc-android/commit/d289a54689d82eb788ec547ff5fb08f847ae62e6","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/videolan/vlc-android/releases/tag/3.7.2","tags":[]},{"url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/vlc-for-android-before-3.7.2-file-overwrite-via-spoofed-mail-attachment-provider","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[{"url":"https://github.com/videolan/vlc-android/blob/3.7.1/application/vlc-android/src/org/videolan/vlc/util/FileUtils.kt#L397-L428","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/videolan/vlc-android/commit/d289a54689d82eb788ec547ff5fb08f847ae62e6","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/videolan/vlc-android/releases/tag/3.7.2","tags":[]}],"hasPoc":true,"ai":null}
