Impact

SailingLab AppLock (com.alpha.applock) version 4.3.8 for Android includes a flaw in BrowserMainActivity that accepts VIEW intents containing javascript: URIs. When such an intent is processed, the embedded JavaScript is executed inside the application’s context, allowing a local attacker to run arbitrary code. This can lead to user interface spoofing or privilege escalation within the app, potentially compromising user data or enabling further malicious actions. The vulnerability is a direct result of unsafe navigation handling, enabling arbitrary code execution.

Affected Systems

The affected product is SailingLab AppLock (com.alpha.applock) version 4.3.8 for Android. No additional vendors or product versions are listed in the available data.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is <1% and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, indicating no publicly known exploits against it at this time. However, the nature of the flaw—local code execution—poses a significant risk if an attacker can inject a VIEW intent with a javascript: URI. Exploitation requires local access or the ability to influence intent transmission to the device, so the attack vector is local. The CVSS score of 5.2 quantifies moderate severity, but the potential for complete compromise of the app’s execution environment warrants careful consideration.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update to the latest version of SailingLab AppLock that removes the vulnerable intent handling
  • Restrict or remove the BrowserMainActivity from processing VIEW intents that contain "javascript:" URIs by adjusting the app’s manifest intent filters
  • Configure the application or device to deny externally crafted intents that target the app’s main activity, or employ a security policy that limits intent exposure to trusted origins
