Integrity: High
Availability: None

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 12 Nov 2025
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
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: 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.

What to do

AI-suggested

Immediate update to SDK version 36 or later where the hardcoded keys issue is fixed.
Remove all hardcoded cryptographic keys from source code and binaries.
Implement secure key management practices using Android Keystore or hardware security modules to store encryption keys securely.
Conduct thorough static and dynamic code analysis to detect any residual hardcoded secrets or cryptographic weaknesses.
Perform penetration testing focusing on cryptographic implementations and key management.
Monitor network traffic for unusual activity that could indicate exploitation attempts.
Educate developers on secure coding standards related to cryptography and key management.
Establish incident response plans specifically addressing cryptographic key compromise scenarios.
Coordinate with app vendors and update deployment pipelines to ensure timely patching.
Review and enhance logging and alerting mechanisms to detect potential misuse of encryption keys.

Description

Sogexia Android App Compile Affected SDK v35, Max SDK 32 and fixed in v36, was discovered to contain hardcoded encryption keys in the encryption_helper.dart file

Impact

For European organizations, especially those in the financial technology sector using the Sogexia Android app, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to encrypted user data, financial transactions, or authentication tokens, resulting in data breaches, fraud, and loss of customer trust. Given the app’s role in handling financial information, compromised encryption keys could facilitate man-in-the-middle attacks, data tampering, or unauthorized transaction approvals. The lack of required authentication or user interaction lowers the barrier for attackers, increasing the likelihood of exploitation. This could have regulatory implications under GDPR due to potential exposure of personal data. Furthermore, the reputational damage and financial losses from such breaches could be substantial. Organizations relying on this app must act swiftly to prevent exploitation and ensure compliance with data protection laws.
