Unauthorized phone calls via exported DialerActivity
Published Jan 6, 2025 · Updated Jan 23, 2025
Improper access control in Color Phone: Call Screen Theme 21.1.9 and earlier allows local users to place calls through a crafted intent. The exported DialerActivity accepts third-party application intents and initiates outgoing calls without checking caller permissions or requesting user consent. A malicious application must already be installed on the Android device, and exploitation can initiate calls but does not establish broader device control.
