Persistent application crash via unlimited database inserts
Published Jun 9, 2023 · Updated Jan 6, 2025
Uncontrolled resource consumption in CrossX 1.15.3 for Android allows local users to persistently crash the app through its database. An exposed content provider accepts unlimited inserts of attacker-controlled data into tb_user, and the app loads that stored data into memory until an out-of-memory error terminates it. Any installed app can invoke the provider; because the injected rows persist, reopening CrossX triggers the crash again rather than restoring service.
