Impact

An issue in Forkyz versionCode 8500000 permits an attacker to supply a crafted URI string that changes another user’s storage settings, effectively overriding configuration data. This flaw enables unauthorized modification of another account’s storage preferences, which could lead to data corruption, loss, or privilege alteration. The weakness maps to improper access control.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Forkyz Android application with versionCode 8500000. No other vendors or product versions are listed. The issue is relevant to systems running this specific build of Forkyz, primarily on mobile devices that can receive custom URI intents.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, so precise exploitation probability cannot be quantified. Based on the description, the likely attack vector is local or opportunistic remote delivery of a crafted URI; an attacker who can make the target device open such a URI—perhaps via a compromised link or malicious app—can influence another user’s storage settings. Without an official CVSS score, the overall severity remains indeterminate, but the potential for unintended configuration changes suggests a moderate to high risk for impacted devices.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Forkyz to a version that removes the ability to modify another user’s storage settings via URI strings, or install the latest official patch if available.
  • If a patch is not available, disable the app’s handling of external intent URIs, preventing malicious links from being processed.
  • Configure device or network security controls to restrict or monitor the use of custom URI schemes introduced by Forkyz, ensuring only trusted sources can initiate such intents.
  • As a temporary measure, manually verify that user storage settings have not been altered unexpectedly after installing or updating the application.
