CVE-2024-35205

Code execution via unsanitized shared-file names

Published May 13, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

Path traversal in WPS Office before 17.0.0 for Android allows local users to execute code through a crafted shared file. The Android share-target flow trusts a supplying content provider's display name when copying an incoming stream, so traversal segments can place a crafted native library in the app's private storage. Execution requires a malicious app on the same device and runs with WPS Office's application ID and permissions.
