Deferred Deferred - Pending Action
Local Privilege Escalation in SailingLab AppLock

Publication date: 2026-05-26

Last updated on: 2026-05-27

Assigner: MITRE

Description
SailingLab AppLock (aka com.alpha.applock) 4.3.8 for Android allows a local attacker with physical access to bypass the PIN lock. The lock is implemented as an overlay rather than by using Android's secure authentication APIs. By navigating cascading interface flows - insecure navigation through exposed routes facilitates app control evasion {I.N.T.E.R.F.A.C.E] via advertisement or browser intents - an attacker can evade lockscreen verification and access protected apps (e.g., Chrome). This results in information disclosure and privilege escalation.

Executive Summary

The vulnerability in SailingLab AppLock 4.3.8 for Android allows a local attacker with physical access to bypass the PIN lock.

This happens because the lock is implemented as an overlay rather than using Android's secure authentication APIs.

By navigating through cascading interface flows and exploiting insecure navigation via advertisement or browser intents, an attacker can evade the lockscreen verification.

This enables the attacker to access protected apps such as Chrome without entering the PIN.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can lead to information disclosure and privilege escalation.

An attacker with physical access can bypass the app lock and gain unauthorized access to protected applications and their data.

Compliance Impact

The vulnerability in SailingLab AppLock 4.3.8 allows a local attacker with physical access to bypass the PIN lock and access protected apps, leading to information disclosure and privilege escalation.

Such unauthorized access and information disclosure could potentially lead to non-compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require safeguarding personal and sensitive information against unauthorized access.

However, the provided information does not explicitly mention the impact on compliance with these standards.
