Code Injection in LINE Android App

Publication date: 2026-08-04

Last updated on: 2026-08-04

Assigner: LINE Corporation

Description
A code injection vulnerability exists in the LINE Android app prior to version 26.7.2. The profile rendering component does not adequately validate or sandbox externally supplied script content embedded in profile templates. As a result, an attacker who is able to place crafted content in a profile could cause unintended code to execute with the application's privileges when a victim views that profile. A server-side mitigation has been deployed that also protects existing Android clients that have not been updated to version 26.7.2.

Executive Summary

This is a code injection vulnerability in the LINE Android app before version 26.7.2. The profile rendering component fails to properly validate or sandbox script content embedded in profile templates. Attackers can exploit this by placing malicious code in a profile, which executes with the app's privileges when viewed by a victim.

Impact Analysis

If you use an unpatched LINE Android app, viewing a crafted profile could allow an attacker to run malicious code on your device with the app's permissions. This could lead to unauthorized access to your data or actions performed on your behalf.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the LINE Android app to version 26.7.2 or later to address the code injection vulnerability in profile rendering.
