CVE-2023-44129
CWE-926Published: September 27, 2023· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
The vulnerability is that the Messaging ("com.android.mms") app patched by LG forwards attacker-controlled intents back to the attacker in the exported "com.android.mms.ui.QClipIntentReceiverActivity" activity. The attacker can abuse this functionality by launching this activity and then sending a broadcast with the "com.lge.message.action.QCLIP" action. The attacker can send, e.g., their own data/clipdata and set Intent.FLAG_GRANT_* flags. After the attacker received that intent in the "onActivityResult()" method, they would have access to arbitrary content providers that have the `android:grantUriPermissions="true"` flag set.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-44129 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation does not require any privileges, though user interaction (Required) is needed, which slightly reduces the risk of mass automated attacks.
