CVE-2025-7893 is a medium severity vulnerability affecting the Foresight News App versions 2.6.0 through 2.6.4 on the Android platform. The root cause of the vulnerability lies in the improper export of Android application components as defined in the app's AndroidManifest.xml file, specifically within the component identified as pro.foresightnews.appa. Improper export means that components such as activities, services, or broadcast receivers are made accessible to other apps or processes without adequate access control. This can allow a local attacker—someone with physical or logical access to the device—to interact with these components in unintended ways. The vulnerability does not require user interaction but does require local access and low privileges (PR:L), indicating that an attacker must already have some level of access to the device, such as through a compromised user account or physical possession. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates low complexity (AC:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and partial impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L). The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, but no patches or vendor responses have been provided to date. Although no known exploits are currently in the wild, the public disclosure increases the risk of exploitation attempts. The improper export could allow attackers to execute unauthorized commands, access sensitive data, or disrupt app functionality, potentially leading to privilege escalation or data leakage within the device environment. Since the vulnerability is local and requires some privilege, it is less likely to be exploited remotely but remains a concern for environments where device access is shared or where malicious apps could be installed.

For European organizations, especially those relying on Android devices for news dissemination, internal communications, or employee information access, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk. The improper export of app components could allow malicious insiders or attackers with limited device access to manipulate the app, potentially accessing sensitive news content or internal data, or disrupting app operations. This could lead to confidentiality breaches or integrity issues in information flow. Organizations in sectors such as media, government, and critical infrastructure that use the Foresight News App for timely information may face operational disruptions or data exposure. Additionally, since the vulnerability requires local access, environments with shared devices or insufficient endpoint security controls are at higher risk. The lack of vendor response and patches increases the window of exposure, making timely mitigation by organizations critical. However, the medium severity and local attack vector limit the scope compared to remote exploitation vulnerabilities.

Given the absence of vendor patches, European organizations should implement several practical mitigations: 1) Restrict physical and logical access to devices running the Foresight News App to trusted personnel only, enforcing strong device authentication and lock screens. 2) Employ mobile device management (MDM) solutions to monitor app installations and restrict installation of untrusted or unnecessary apps that could exploit the vulnerability locally. 3) Use application whitelisting and sandboxing to limit inter-app communication and prevent unauthorized apps from interacting with exported components. 4) Regularly audit app permissions and exported components using tools like Android Studio or third-party security scanners to identify and block improper exports. 5) Educate users about the risks of installing untrusted apps or granting excessive permissions. 6) Consider temporarily disabling or uninstalling the Foresight News App on devices where it is not critical until a vendor patch is released. 7) Monitor device logs for unusual activity related to the vulnerable app components. 8) Engage with the vendor or community to track patch releases or updates addressing this vulnerability.
