Descriptions

The Grandstream Wave app 1.0.1.26 and earlier for Android does not use HTTPS when retrieving update information, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted application.

La Grandstream Wave app 1.0.1.26 y versiones anteriores para Android no utiliza HTTPS cuando recupera la información de actualización, lo que podría permitir que los atacantes man-in-the-middle ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una aplicación manipulada.

The Grandstream Wave application version 1.0.1.26 periodically queries the Grandstream server for app updates. If a new update is found, the app shows a notification to the user that either opens the app's Google Play page or auto-downloads the APK file and opens it for installation. The update information is downloaded over an insecure connection from `media.ipvideotalk.com` and contains the version code and the update URL. An active attacker can redirect this request and trick the user into downloading a malicious update package
