AI-suggested
European organizations should ensure that all Kruger&Matz devices are updated to the patched version of com.pri.applock released in April 2025. Device management policies should enforce app updates and restrict installation of untrusted applications to reduce the risk of malicious apps exploiting this vulnerability. Organizations should educate users about the risks of social engineering to protect PIN and biometric data. Implement Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) solutions capable of detecting suspicious app behaviors and intent injections. Where possible, disable or restrict the use of com.pri.applock on corporate devices until patched. Conduct regular security audits and penetration tests on mobile endpoints to identify and remediate similar component exposure issues. Additionally, monitor for any emerging exploits related to this vulnerability or the linked CVE-2024-13916 to respond rapidly. Finally, consider deploying endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools with mobile capabilities to detect anomalous activities indicative of exploitation attempts.
Description
An application "com.pri.applock", which is pre-loaded on Kruger&Matz smartphones, allows a user to encrypt any application using user-provided PIN code or by using biometric data. Exposed ”com.pri.applock.LockUI“ activity allows any other malicious application, with no granted Android system permissions, to inject an arbitrary intent with system-level privileges to a protected application. One must know the protecting PIN number (it might be revealed by exploiting CVE-2024-13916) or ask the user to provide it. Only version (version name: 13, version code: 33) was tested and confirmed to have this vulnerability. Application update was released in April 2025.
