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

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
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: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
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: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 7 Nov 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

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.

AI-suggested

Since no official patches are currently available, organizations and users should implement the following mitigations: 1) Restrict installation of untrusted or unknown applications to reduce the risk of malicious apps exploiting this vulnerability. 2) Use mobile device management (MDM) solutions to monitor and control app permissions and behavior, including blocking apps that attempt to send intents to the vulnerable component. 3) Disable or uninstall the Goodwy Right Dialer app if it is not essential or replace it with a trusted dialer application that enforces proper permission checks. 4) Employ runtime application behavior monitoring tools that can detect unauthorized call attempts and alert users or administrators. 5) Educate users about the risks of installing apps from unofficial sources and encourage vigilance regarding unexpected phone calls or charges. 6) Monitor telephony usage logs for unusual call patterns indicative of exploitation. 7) Stay alert for vendor updates or patches and apply them promptly once available. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on controlling app behavior and reducing exposure until a fix is released.

Description

The Goodwy com.goodwy.dialer (aka Right Dialer) application through 5.1.0 for Android enables any application (with no permissions) to place phone calls without user interaction by sending a crafted intent via the com.goodwy.dialer.activities.DialerActivity component.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2024-36063 is unauthorized call initiation by malicious apps without user knowledge or consent. This can lead to significant financial losses for users or organizations due to fraudulent calls to premium-rate numbers or toll services. Privacy is also compromised as calls could be placed to contacts or services without user approval, potentially exposing sensitive information or enabling further social engineering attacks. For organizations, compromised devices could be leveraged as part of larger fraud schemes or to disrupt communications. The lack of required permissions and user interaction lowers the barrier for exploitation, increasing the risk of widespread abuse. Although availability and confidentiality impacts are minimal, the integrity of telephony functions is severely affected. The absence of patches means affected users remain vulnerable until mitigations or updates are applied.

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.
