AI-suggested
Upgrade Acode to version 1.12.7 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed by adding proper permission checks and caller verification for the TerminalService. Until then, avoid installing untrusted applications that could exploit this service.
Description
Acode is a powerful text and code editor for Android. From 1.11.6 until 1.12.7, com.foxdebug.acode.rk.exec.terminal.TerminalService is declared as an exported service in src/plugins/terminal/plugin.xml without a binding permission, and src/plugins/terminal/src/android/TerminalService.java does not verify the caller. Any installed Android application can bind the service and send MSG_EXEC with an attacker-controlled cmd value, which the terminal implementation passes to ProcessBuilder with sh -c inside Acode's UID. This allows a zero-permission local application to execute commands with access to Acode private data, remote credentials, Storage Access Framework grants, and runtime permissions without additional interaction at attack time. This issue is fixed in version 1.12.7.
