CVE-2023-1384Public exploit

File disclosure via unsanitized media source

Published May 3, 2023 · Updated Jan 30, 2025

Script injection in Amazon Fire TV Stick (3rd Gen) before 6.2.9.5 and Insignia Fire TV before 7.6.3.3 allows remote attackers to read files. The amzn.thin.pl setMediaSource function concatenates the unescaped source parameter into a javascript: URL that StyledMediaPlayer passes to WebView.loadUrl. Access to the local network is required; injected code runs in the receiver WebView and can read files available to com.amazon.awvflingreceiver or load arbitrary HTTP URLs.
