CVE-2026-4218Public exploit

Local authorization-key disclosure via AUTH_KEY mishandling

Published Mar 16, 2026 · Updated Mar 16, 2026

Information disclosure in the AEDES SRL Android application 1.18.0 through 1.18.4 allows local users to obtain an EngageBay authorization key. An undisclosed function in EngageBayUtils.java mishandles the AUTH_KEY argument so local manipulation reveals the credential. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and high attack complexity; the documented consequence is credential disclosure only.
