Executive Summary

CVE-2025-14698 is a path traversal vulnerability in the Galleryit - Photo Vault, Album app version 1.3.8.2 for Android. It occurs due to improper validation of file paths during the file import process, allowing an attacker with local access to manipulate file names and paths to overwrite arbitrary files within the app's internal storage. This can be exploited by crafting malicious intents with manipulated parameters to overwrite sensitive files, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or app malfunction. [1, 2, 3]

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can impact you by allowing an attacker to overwrite critical internal files of the app, which may lead to arbitrary code execution, exposure of sensitive information, denial of service, app malfunction, or failure to launch. The attack requires local access and minimal user interaction, making it relatively easy to exploit. The integrity and availability of the application are at risk. [1, 2, 3]

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability requires local access to the device and involves exploitation via a specially crafted intent targeting the Galleryit app's file import process. Detection can involve monitoring for suspicious intents or file overwrite attempts within the app's internal storage, especially looking for unusual path traversal sequences in filenames (e.g., '../'). Since the exploit uses manipulated '_display_name' parameters in intents, commands or tools that monitor Android intents or file system changes could help detect exploitation attempts. However, no specific detection commands are provided in the resources. [1, 2]

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include replacing the affected Galleryit app version 1.3.8.2 with an alternative app, as no vendor patches or countermeasures have been provided. Additionally, restricting local access to the device and preventing installation or execution of untrusted apps can reduce risk. Monitoring and limiting the app's permissions related to file imports may also help. Since the vendor did not respond and no fixes are available, avoiding use of the vulnerable app is recommended. [1, 2]

Compliance Impact

The provided resources do not contain information regarding the impact of this vulnerability on compliance with common standards and regulations such as GDPR or HIPAA.
