QID 630925: Omni-notes For Android Confused Deputy Vulnerability

Omni-notes is an open source note-taking application for Android. The Omni-notes Android app had an insufficient path validation vulnerability when displaying the details of a note received through an externally-provided intent. The paths of the note's attachments were not properly validated, allowing malicious or compromised applications in the same device to force Omni-notes to copy files from its internal storage to its external storage directory, where they would have become accessible to any component with permission to read the external storage. Updating to the newest version (6.2.7) of Omni-notes Android fixes this vulnerability.

On successful exploitation, it could allow an attacker to execute code.

CVSS V3 rated as Medium - 5.5 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as High - 7.5 severity.
