Impact
The flaw arises from an incorrect DBus policy in lomiri-download-manager that allows any local user to invoke privileged operations. This enables an attacker to run arbitrary commands with root privileges, jeopardizing the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. The weakness is categorized as CWE‑732.
Affected Systems
The vulnerability affects the UBports lomiri-download-manager package. Versions older than 0.3.3 are susceptible. The fix is delivered in lomiri-download-manager 0.3.3 and in Ubuntu Touch releases 24.04‑2.1 and 24.04‑1.5.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 5.5 reflects moderate severity, but the capability for arbitrary root execution is a high impact. No EPSS score is available and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to be local, requiring the attacker to have access to the system’s DBus service to trigger the improperly granted method.
