CVE-2025-8275 is a medium-severity vulnerability identified in version 1.0.0 of the bsc Peru Cocktails App for Android. The root cause lies in the improper export of Android application components due to misconfigurations in the AndroidManifest.xml file. Specifically, certain components of the app are exported unintentionally, allowing other applications or local attackers on the device to interact with these components without proper authorization. This improper export can lead to unauthorized access or manipulation of app functionality. The attack vector is local, meaning an attacker must have access to the device or be able to run code locally to exploit the vulnerability. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P) indicates that the attack requires low privileges and no user interaction, with partial impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although the exploit has been publicly disclosed, there are no known exploits actively used in the wild at this time. The vulnerability stems from a common Android security misconfiguration where exported components (such as activities, services, or broadcast receivers) are unintentionally made accessible, potentially allowing malicious apps or users to invoke them and cause unintended behavior or data leakage. Since the app is specific to the Peru Cocktails App, the scope is limited to users of this particular app version on Android devices. However, the vulnerability highlights the importance of secure component export practices in Android app development.

For European organizations, the direct impact of this vulnerability is likely limited due to the niche nature of the affected app (Peru Cocktails App) which appears to be regionally focused and not widely used in Europe. However, if any European entities use this app internally or if employees install it on corporate devices, there is a risk of local privilege escalation or unauthorized access to app components, potentially leading to data leakage or manipulation of app behavior. The vulnerability could be leveraged by malicious local apps or attackers with physical or remote access to the device to interfere with the app's operation or extract sensitive information. While the vulnerability does not allow remote exploitation or require user interaction, the partial impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability could affect user data or app functionality. From a broader perspective, this vulnerability underscores the risk posed by improper Android component exports, which could be present in other apps used by European organizations, thus representing a general security concern. Organizations with BYOD policies or those that allow installation of third-party apps should be aware of such risks. Additionally, the public disclosure of the exploit increases the risk of future attacks if the app remains unpatched.

1. Developers should immediately review and update the AndroidManifest.xml file to explicitly set the 'exported' attribute for all components, ensuring only those intended to be accessible externally are exported. 2. Apply the principle of least privilege by restricting component exposure and using permission checks to control access. 3. Users should uninstall or avoid using the affected version (1.0.0) of the Peru Cocktails App until a patched version is released. 4. Organizations should implement mobile device management (MDM) solutions to monitor and control app installations, preventing vulnerable apps from being installed on corporate devices. 5. Conduct security audits of all Android apps used within the organization to detect similar misconfigurations. 6. Educate users about the risks of installing untrusted or region-specific apps on corporate devices. 7. Monitor for updates or patches from the vendor and apply them promptly once available. 8. Employ runtime application self-protection (RASP) or endpoint detection tools that can detect unusual inter-app communications or component invocations indicative of exploitation attempts.
