AI Analysis

Impact

Secure Folder 1.2 stores user‑selected vault files in Android's shared‑storage directory in plaintext. Any local application or file manager with permission to read that directory can enumerate, copy, and open the files without passing the PIN gate or authenticating to Secure Folder. The weakness is a type of information exposure through improperly stored temporary files (CWE‑922).

Affected Systems

FluteCode Secure Folder 1.2 on Android devices. The flaw applies to the 1.2 release that uses the default shared‑storage configuration for vault storage. No other versions are listed as affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.8 indicates moderate severity. EPSS is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack requires local device access and the ability to read shared storage, so it is not remotely exploitable. An attacker with a file manager or other local app can enumerate and copy the protected files, compromising the confidentiality of user data. The flaw arises from storing confidential data in an insecure location.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest vendor patch for Secure Folder 1.2 or upgrade to a newer version that encrypts vault files before storing them.
  • Disable shared‑storage usage for vault files in the app settings, forcing the app to use internal or private storage instead.
  • Restrict file manager permissions or use a hardened file explorer that excludes access to the Secure Folder shared‑storage directory.
