Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

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

Attack Vector: Local: The vulnerable system 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 through terminal emulation (e.g., SSH); or the attacker relies on User Interaction by another person to perform actions required to exploit the vulnerability (e.g., using social engineering techniques to trick a legitimate user into opening a malicious document).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), CVSS vector, 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

Immediate mitigation involves restricting physical and local access to devices running the affected versions of the InstantBits Web Video Cast App.
Organizations should audit their mobile device management (MDM) policies to detect and control the installation of this app, especially versions 5.12.0 through 5.12.4.
Encourage users to update the app once a patched version is released; until then, consider uninstalling or disabling the app if it is not essential.
Implement application whitelisting and privilege restrictions on Android devices to limit the ability of untrusted apps or users to interact with exported components.
Monitor device logs and behavior for unusual activity related to the app’s components.
Educate users about the risks of installing apps from untrusted sources and the importance of device security to prevent local exploitation.
If possible, use Android’s security features such as Work Profiles or sandboxing to isolate apps and reduce the risk of component misuse.
Engage with the vendor or community for updates or unofficial patches if the vendor remains unresponsive.

Description

A vulnerability was found in InstantBits Web Video Cast App up to 5.12.4 on Android. It has been rated as problematic. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file AndroidManifest.xml of the component com.instantbits.cast.webvideo. The manipulation leads to improper export of android application components. An attack has to be approached locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability depends largely on the prevalence of the InstantBits Web Video Cast App within their user base or employee devices. Organizations that allow or rely on this app for media casting or streaming could face risks of local privilege escalation or unauthorized access to app components, potentially leading to data leakage or manipulation of app functions. Although the attack requires local access, this could be exploited in scenarios involving shared devices, insider threats, or compromised endpoints. The vulnerability could also be leveraged as part of a multi-stage attack chain to gain further foothold on Android devices used within corporate environments. Given the app’s functionality related to media streaming, there is also a risk of disruption or misuse of media content. However, the overall impact is somewhat limited by the requirement for local access and the medium severity rating. Still, organizations should be aware of this vulnerability as part of their mobile device security posture, especially in sectors where Android devices are widely used and where media casting apps are common.
