A co-installed app without permissions can declare these authorities and send a crafted VIEW intent to the exported StartActivity, making VLC write attacker-chosen content under an attacker-chosen name in the shared Download directory, overwriting other apps' files when VLC holds All files access.","published":"2026-10-23T12:18:13.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-23T19:45:04.000Z","status":"Awaiting Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"disclosure@vulncheck.com","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":2.1,"severity":"LOW","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-346"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00089,"percentile":0.00411,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-10-24","score":0.00115,"percentile":0.01471}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.09%).
