CVE-2020-0014Public exploit

Credential theft via clickable Toast overlay

Published Feb 13, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Tapjacking in the Android Framework in Android 8.0, 8.1, 9, and 10 allows local users to intercept touch input via a malicious app. DisplayPolicy relies on client-side Toast enforcement, allowing an app to clear FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE and create a clickable TYPE_TOAST overlay. A user must interact with the crafted overlay, which can capture taps and expose entered PINs or passwords.
