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: 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: 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 11 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.

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 or the CVSS exploit maturity 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

To mitigate CVE-2024-46962, users and organizations should immediately check for updates from the app developer and apply any available patches once released. Until a patch is available, consider uninstalling the 'Master Video Downloader' app or replacing it with a trusted alternative. Employ mobile device management (MDM) solutions to restrict installation of vulnerable apps and monitor app behavior for anomalies. Network-level controls such as web filtering and intrusion detection systems can help detect and block malicious payloads targeting this vulnerability. Developers and security teams should conduct code reviews focusing on JavaScript execution contexts and implement strict input validation and sanitization to prevent code injection. Additionally, sandboxing the app’s JavaScript execution environment can limit the impact of potential exploits. Educate users about the risks of installing apps from untrusted sources and the importance of timely updates. Finally, monitor threat intelligence feeds for any emerging exploits or patches related to this CVE.

Description

The SYQ com.downloader.video.fast (aka Master Video Downloader) application through 2.0 for Android allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code via the com.downloader.video.fast.SpeedMainAct component.

Impact

The impact of CVE-2024-46962 is substantial due to its ability to allow remote code execution without authentication or user interaction. Attackers exploiting this vulnerability can execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the context of the vulnerable app, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive user data, manipulation of app functions, or further compromise of the device. Confidentiality and integrity are severely impacted, as attackers could exfiltrate personal information or alter app behavior to serve malicious purposes. Although availability is not directly affected, the compromise could facilitate subsequent attacks that degrade device or network performance. Organizations with employees using this app risk data leakage and potential lateral movement within corporate networks if devices are compromised. The global reach of Android devices means the threat could affect millions of users, especially in regions where the app is popular. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk but does not diminish the urgency for mitigation given the vulnerability’s critical severity and ease of exploitation.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: MediumCWE Top 25 (2025): #10OWASP Top 10 A05:2025: Injection (opens in a new tab)
The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment.
Architecture and Design · Refactoring
Refactor your program so that you do not have to dynamically generate code.
Architecture and Design
Run your code in a "jail" or similar sandbox environment that enforces strict boundaries between the process and the operating system. This may effectively restrict which code can be executed by your product.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
