A co-installed app without permissions can declare these authorities and send a crafted VIEW intent to the exported StartActivity, making VLC write attacker-chosen content under an attacker-chosen name in the shared Download directory, overwriting other apps' files when VLC holds All files access.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `vlc_for_android < 3.7.2`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":16,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":16,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
