- CWE-925 - Improper Verification of Intent by Broadcast Receiver
Summary
The vulnerability is that the Call management ("com.android.server.telecom") app patched by LG sends a lot of LG-owned implicit broadcasts that disclose sensitive data to all third-party apps installed on the same device. Those intents include data such as call states, durations, called numbers, contacts info, etc.

- CWE-925 - Improper Verification of Intent by Broadcast Receiver
Summary
Infinix devices contain a pre-loaded "com.transsion.agingfunction" application, that exposes an unsecured broadcast receiver. An attacker can communicate with the receiver and force the device to perform a factory reset without any Android system permissions.
After multiple attempts to contact the vendor we did not receive any answer. We suppose this issue affects all Infinix Mobile devices.

Mitigation
Phase: Architecture and Design
Description:
- Before acting on the Intent, check the Intent Action to make sure it matches the expected System action.
CAPEC-499: Android Intent Intercept
An adversary, through a previously installed malicious application, intercepts messages from a trusted Android-based application in an attempt to achieve a variety of different objectives including denial of service, information disclosure, and data injection. An implicit intent sent from a trusted application can be received by any application that has declared an appropriate intent filter. If the intent is not protected by a permission that the malicious application lacks, then the attacker can gain access to the data contained within the intent. Further, the intent can be either blocked from reaching the intended destination, or modified and potentially forwarded along.
