Official Description

ALEAPP (Android Logs Events And Protobuf Parser) through 3.4.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the NQ_Vault.py artifact parser that uses attacker-controlled file_name_from values from a database directly as the output filename, allowing arbitrary file writes outside the report output directory. An attacker can embed a path traversal payload such as ../../../outside_written.bin in the database to write files to arbitrary locations, potentially achieving code execution by overwriting executable files or configuration.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-40027 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.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), with a CVSS base score of 7.3.
