CVE-2023-41818

System log disclosure via unprotected SD-card storage

Published May 3, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Sensitive-data exposure in Motorola Device Help on phones before 2023-12-01 allows local users to read system logs. When a device owner uses Device Help to send logs to Motorola, the application temporarily writes the logs to SD-card storage without access control. Exploitation requires low local privileges and user interaction during that storage window, and the reported consequence is limited to reading logging data.
