Descriptions

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. This issue is fixed in Element Android 1.6.12. There is no known workaround to mitigate the issue.

Element Android es un cliente Matrix de Android. Una aplicación maliciosa de terceros instalada en el mismo teléfono puede obligar a Element Android, versión 0.91.0 a 1.6.12, a compartir archivos almacenados en el directorio "archivos" en el directorio de datos privados de la aplicación en una sala arbitraria. El impacto del ataque se reduce por el hecho de que las bases de datos almacenadas en esta carpeta están cifradas. Sin embargo, contiene otra información potencialmente confidencial, como el token FCM. Las bifurcaciones de Element Android que han configurado `android:exported="false"` en el archivo `AndroidManifest.xml` para la actividad `IncomingShareActivity` no se ven afectadas. Este problema se solucionó en Element Android 1.6.12. No se conoce ningún workaround para mitigar el problema.
