Attack Vector: Local
Attack Complexity: Low
Privileges Required: None
User Interaction: Required
Scope: Unchanged
Confidentiality: High
Integrity: None
Availability: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Local: The vulnerable component is not bound to the network stack and the attacker’s path is via read/write/execute capabilities. Either: the attacker exploits the vulnerability by accessing the target system locally (e.g., keyboard, console), or remotely (e.g., SSH); or the attacker relies on User Interaction by another person to perform actions required to exploit the vulnerability (e.g., tricking a legitimate user into opening a malicious document).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

1. Developers should immediately audit the AndroidManifest.xml file in hamza417/inure to identify and restrict exported components that do not require external access. 2. Apply the principle of least privilege by setting android:exported="false" for activities, services, and receivers that should not be accessible by other apps. 3. Implement explicit permission checks on components that must be exported, using custom permissions or system permissions to restrict access. 4. Update the app to target Android 11 or higher SDK levels to benefit from enhanced platform security features. 5. Educate users and administrators to avoid installing apps from untrusted sources and to verify app authenticity. 6. Employ mobile device management (MDM) solutions to control app installations and enforce security policies on corporate devices. 7. Monitor app behavior and network traffic for signs of task hijacking or unusual data flows. 8. Encourage users to upgrade their Android OS to version 11 or later where possible to reduce exposure. 9. Maintain an incident response plan to address potential data exposure incidents stemming from this vulnerability.

Description

A misconfiguration in the AndroidManifest.xml file in hamza417/inure before build97 allows for task hijacking. This vulnerability permits malicious applications to inherit permissions of the vulnerable app, potentially leading to the exposure of sensitive information. An attacker can create a malicious app that hijacks the legitimate Inure app, intercepting and stealing sensitive information when installed on the victim's device. This issue affects all Android versions before Android 11.

Impact

For European organizations, the primary impact of this vulnerability is the potential exposure of sensitive information on Android devices running versions prior to Android 11. Organizations that rely on the hamza417/inure app for any business or personal use could see confidentiality compromised if attackers deploy malicious apps that hijack the legitimate app’s tasks. This could lead to data leakage, privacy violations, and potential compliance issues under GDPR if personal data is exposed. Although the vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability, the confidentiality breach alone can have significant reputational and legal consequences. The requirement for user interaction (installing a malicious app) somewhat limits the attack surface, but social engineering or supply chain attacks could increase risk. Since many European enterprises and users still operate older Android devices, the threat remains relevant. Additionally, sectors with high mobile device usage such as finance, healthcare, and government could be particularly sensitive to such data exposure.

During installation, installed file permissions are set to allow anyone to modify those files.
Architecture and Design · Operation
The architecture needs to access and modification attributes for files to only those users who actually require those actions.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
