CVE-2026-40000

File disclosure via caller-controlled preview paths

Published Jul 27, 2026 · Updated Jul 27, 2026

Path traversal in ZTE File Manager on Blade A75 5G builds before May 30, 2026 allows physically proximate attackers to read files. The exported FilePreViewActivity accepts a caller-supplied content URI or file path and resolves it with File Manager privileges without restricting access to authorized directories. Exploitation requires physical proximity, high complexity, user interaction, and access controls that permit the invoking app; readable data includes files under /data/data and /data/local/tmp.
