Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Acode-Foundation Acode up to 1.12.6 and classified as problematic. This issue affects an unknown code of the file src/plugins/terminal/src/android/TerminalService.java of the component Terminal Service. The manipulation of the argument cmd with an unknown input leads to a permission vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-275. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Acode is a powerful text and code editor for Android. From 1.11.6 until 1.12.7, com.foxdebug.acode.rk.exec.terminal.TerminalService is declared as an exported service in src/plugins/terminal/plugin.xml without a binding permission, and src/plugins/terminal/src/android/TerminalService.java does not verify the caller. Any installed Android application can bind the service and send MSG_EXEC with an attacker-controlled cmd value, which the terminal implementation passes to ProcessBuilder with sh -c inside Acode's UID. This allows a zero-permission local application to execute commands with access to Acode private data, remote credentials, Storage Access Framework grants, and runtime permissions without additional interaction at attack time. This issue is fixed in version 1.12.7.
