CVE-2025-7892Public exploit

Credential theft via default Android task affinity

Published Jul 20, 2025 · Updated Jul 21, 2025

Task hijacking in IDnow VideoIdent Android app versions 9.0 through 9.6.0 allows local users to steal sensitive data through phishing. AndroidManifest.xml leaves taskAffinity at the de.idnow package default, allowing a malicious singleTask activity with the same affinity to occupy the task root and appear when the legitimate app opens. Exploitation requires installation and execution of a malicious app on Android before 11; the displayed impostor can capture entered information or induce permission grants.
