Discussion

A Reddit post in the r/Malware subreddit highlights suspicious behavior related to the MEmu Android emulator. The post notes that a Microsoft Edge browser policy allowing local network access is installed and linked to a domain owned by MEmu's parent company, Shanghai Maiwei Software Technology Co. , Ltd. The concern is why this policy is present, as it permits sites to make network requests to local devices and endpoints. No direct evidence of exploitation or malware is provided, and no official vendor advisory or patch information is available.

I have recently noticed a policy installed on my edge browser that allows the site to make network requests to local devices and local network endpoints (Policy explanation from Microsoft https://docs.microsoft.com/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-policies#localnetworkaccessallowedforurls)

The site is registered using email [dongxiao.xu@microvirt.com](mailto:dongxiao.xu@microvirt.com) according to whois info used godady for it. So it use the domain owned by memu, confirmed they have this domain as its listed on their support site. The name is 上海迈微软件科技有限公司 which translates to Shanghai Maiwei Software Technology Co., Ltd

Why does memu emulator need this policy installed in edge
