Affected Products

Product | Affected Versions

ContentProtectionTogglePreferenceController | All versions prior to patch

How the Exploit Works

The exploit takes advantage of a logic error in the updateState method of ContentProtectionTogglePreferenceController.java. A secondary user can exploit this logic error to disable the deceptive app scanning setting of the primary user. This vulnerability does not require any user interaction or additional execution privileges, making it easy for attackers to exploit it.

Conceptual Example Code

Here is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited. This is pseudocode and not an actual exploit:

public class Exploit {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a secondary user instance
User secondaryUser = new User("secondary");
// Get the instance of ContentProtectionTogglePreferenceController
ContentProtectionTogglePreferenceController controller =
ContentProtectionTogglePreferenceController.getInstance();
// Exploit the vulnerability in updateState method
controller.updateState("primary", secondaryUser);
}
}

In this example, the `updateState` method is called with the primary user’s ID and the secondary user’s instance. The logic error in this method allows the secondary user to disable the primary user’s deceptive app scanning setting.

Mitigation

Users are advised to apply the vendor patch immediately to fix the issue. If the patch cannot be applied immediately, users can use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as a temporary mitigation measure.

AppSuite Pro | All versions up to and including 3.0

How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability stems from a logic error in the code implementation of the startSpaActivityForApp function within SpaActivity.kt. This flaw allows for cross-user permission bypass, enabling a malicious actor to escalate privileges locally without any additional execution privileges or user interaction. As such, the attacker can potentially compromise the system or cause data leakage.

Conceptual Example Code

An attacker might exploit the vulnerability in the following manner (conceptual representation):

val intent = Intent()
intent.setClassName("target.app", "target.app.SpaActivity")
intent.putExtra("EXTRA_APP_ID", maliciousAppId)
intent.putExtra("EXTRA_CALLING_PACKAGE", maliciousPackageName)
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)
context.startActivity(intent)

This Kotlin code snippet demonstrates how an attacker might craft an intent to start the vulnerable SpaActivity with a malicious app ID and package name, exploiting the permission bypass flaw.

Mitigation Guidance

To mitigate this vulnerability, vendors should apply the available patches promptly. In the absence of a patch, the use of a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide a temporary mitigation solution. Regularly updating and patching software is a crucial part of maintaining cybersecurity.

Vulnerability Summary

CVE ID: CVE-2025-32332
Severity: High (7.8)
Attack Vector: Local
Privileges Required: None
User Interaction: None
Impact: System compromise or data leakage due to local privilege escalation

Affected Products

Product | Affected Versions

Product A | All Versions
Product B | All Versions

How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability works by exploiting a use-after-free condition in multiple locations of the affected products. This condition arises when a piece of memory is freed and then used again, leading to potential corruption of the memory. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to elevate their privileges on the system, gaining unauthorized access to sensitive information or even taking control of the system.

Conceptual Example Code

Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This is a simplified representation and real-world exploitation might require a more complex approach.

#include <stdlib.h>
int main() {
char *buffer = malloc(100);  // Allocating memory
free(buffer);                // Freeing the memory
buffer[50] = 'A';            // Use after free
}

In this pseudo-code, a buffer is allocated and then freed, but it’s used again after being freed. This results in memory corruption which could be exploited to escalate privileges and compromise the system.

Mitigation

It’s recommended to apply the vendor-supplied patches as soon as possible to mitigate this vulnerability. If patches are not yet available or cannot be applied immediately, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation. These solutions can help detect and block attempts to exploit this vulnerability until a more permanent solution can be implemented.

Affected Products

Product | Affected Versions

AppRestrictionsFragment.java | All versions prior to patch

How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability arises from a confused deputy problem in multiple functions of AppRestrictionsFragment.java. A confused deputy is a computer program that is innocently fooled by some other party into misusing its authority. In this case, a malicious actor could manipulate the software into bypassing the intent security check, thereby escalating their privileges on the system.

Conceptual Example Code

Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This pseudocode demonstrates how a malicious actor might trick the software into bypassing the intent security check.

Intent maliciousIntent = new Intent();
maliciousIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.example.vulnerableapp", "com.example.vulnerableapp.VulnerableActivity"));
// Bypass security check
AppRestrictionsFragment.confuseDeputy(maliciousIntent);
startActivity(maliciousIntent);

Note:
The above code is a simplified representation and may not work exactly as shown. It is intended to illustrate the nature of the vulnerability.

Recommended Mitigation

The primary recommended mitigation for CVE-2025-32326 is to apply the vendor-provided patch. If this is not immediately feasible, temporary mitigation can be achieved by implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to monitor, identify, and block malicious activity. However, this should be considered a stopgap measure until the patch can be applied, as it may not fully protect against all potential exploits.

Java | All versions prior to patch

How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability resides in the onCommand function of ActivityManagerShellCommand.java. An attacker with local access could exploit this issue by confusing the deputy function, causing it to launch activities arbitrary, potentially leading to a local escalation of privilege. This could result in unauthorized information disclosure, modification, or disruption of service, all without requiring additional execution privileges or user interaction.

Conceptual Example Code

Below is a conceptual example of how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability:

ActivityManagerShellCommand am = new ActivityManagerShellCommand();
am.onCommand("malicious_activity");

In the example above, the `onCommand` method is invoked with a malicious activity. Since the deputy function is confused and no additional execution privileges are needed, this could lead to an arbitrary activity launch.

Mitigation Recommendations

The primary mitigation strategy for this vulnerability is to apply the vendor patch. If this is not possible, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as a temporary mitigation measure. However, these measures only serve to mitigate the risk and do not fully address the underlying vulnerability. As such, they should only be considered as a stopgap solution until the vendor patch can be applied.

Overview

This report focuses on the CVE-2025-32323 vulnerability found in the getCallingAppName function of Shared.java.

Privileges Required: None
User Interaction: None
Impact: System compromise and potential data leakage

Affected Products

Product | Affected Versions

Shared.java | All versions prior to patch update

How the Exploit Works

The exploit works by manipulating the text presented in a permission popup. The vulnerability stems from improper input validation in the getCallingAppName function of Shared.java. An attacker can craft deceptive text that can trick a user into granting file access, thus leading to a local privilege escalation. This escalation can potentially compromise the system and leak sensitive data.

Conceptual Example Code

A conceptual exploit might involve injecting malicious code into the permission popup. However, actual exploit code cannot be provided to prevent misuse. Here is a simplified example of a deceptive text payload:

String maliciousPayload = "Your system requires an update. Grant access to proceed";
PopupWindow popup = new PopupWindow();
popup.setTitle("System Update Required");
popup.setMessage(maliciousPayload);
popup.show();

In this example, the malicious payload is a deceptive message that tricks the user into believing that a system update is required and prompts them to grant file access.

Mitigation Guidance

To mitigate this vulnerability, users should apply the vendor-provided patch as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation. These solutions can help detect and prevent attempted exploits of this vulnerability.
