The vulnerability is an intent redirection in LG ThinQ Service (com.lge.lms2) in the com/lge/lms/things/ui/notification/NotificationManager.java file. This vulnerability could be exploited by a third-party app installed on an LG device by sending a broadcast with the action com.lge.lms.things.notification.ACTION. Additionally, this vulnerability is very dangerous because LG ThinQ Service is a system app (having android:sharedUserId=android.uid.system setting). Intent redirection in this app leads to accessing arbitrary not exported activities of absolutely all apps.

Weakness

The Android application exports a component for use by other applications, but does not properly restrict which applications can launch the component or access the data it contains.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
