CVE-2024-26132 – Element Android can be asked to share internal files.
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-26132
Element Android is an Android Matrix Client. A third-party malicious application installed on the same phone can force Element Android, version 0.91.0 through 1.6.12, to share files stored under the `files` directory in the application's private data directory to an arbitrary room. The impact of the attack is reduced by the fact that the databases stored in this folder are encrypted. However, it contains some other potentially sensitive information, such as the FCM token. Forks of Element Android which have set `android:exported="false"` in the `AndroidManifest.xml` file for the `IncomingShareActivity` activity are not impacted. • https://element.io/blog/security-release-element-android-1-6-12 https://github.com/element-hq/element-android/commit/8f9695a9a8d944cb9b92568cbd76578c51d32e07 https://github.com/element-hq/element-android/security/advisories/GHSA-8wj9-cx7h-pvm4 • CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor •
CVE-2024-26131 – Element Android Intent Redirection
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-26131
Element Android is an Android Matrix Client. Element Android version 1.4.3 through 1.6.10 is vulnerable to intent redirection, allowing a third-party malicious application to start any internal activity by passing some extra parameters. Possible impact includes making Element Android display an arbitrary web page, executing arbitrary JavaScript; bypassing PIN code protection; and account takeover by spawning a login screen to send credentials to an arbitrary home server. This issue is fixed in Element Android 1.6.12. There is no known workaround to mitigate the issue. • https://element.io/blog/security-release-element-android-1-6-12 https://github.com/element-hq/element-android/commit/53734255ec270b0814946350787393dfcaa2a5a9 https://github.com/element-hq/element-android/security/advisories/GHSA-j6pr-fpc8-q9vm https://support.google.com/faqs/answer/9267555?hl=en • CWE-923: Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints CWE-940: Improper Verification of Source of a Communication Channel •
