CVE-2023-44122

Summary

CVE-2023-44122 is a vulnerability in the LockScreenSettings app (com.lge.lockscreensettings) for certain devices. The issue lies within the MyCategoryGuideActivity.java file, where the app launches implicit intents that can be intercepted by third-party apps. These apps can then provide arbitrary data, which is passed to the "onActivityResult()" method in the LockScreenSettings app. The vulnerable app subsequently copies a file to the path "/data/shared/dw/mycategory/wallpaper_01.png", making it world-readable and world-writable, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive files.
