CVE-2025-8513Public exploit

Local task hijacking via exported Android components

Published Aug 3, 2025 · Updated Aug 4, 2025

Improper component export in Caixin News App 8.0.1 allows local users to hijack app tasks through Android inter-app calls. The com.caixin.news AndroidManifest.xml exposes application components without restricting which installed applications can invoke them. A malicious app must already run locally; public evidence does not identify the exported component or a consequence beyond limited data access, modification, or interruption.
