Overview

The vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-32345 could potentially allow a secondary user to disable the primary user’s deceptive app scanning setting due to a logic error in the ContentProtectionTogglePreferenceController’s updateState method. This could lead to a local escalation of privileges without needing additional execution privileges. It is a significant concern as it could result in system compromise or data leakage, impacting any organization or individual using the affected software.

How the Exploit Works

The exploit takes advantage of a logic error in the updateState method of ContentProtectionTogglePreferenceController.java. A secondary user can exploit this logic error to disable the deceptive app scanning setting of the primary user. This vulnerability does not require any user interaction or additional execution privileges, making it easy for attackers to exploit it.

Conceptual Example Code

Here is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited. This is pseudocode and not an actual exploit:

public class Exploit {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a secondary user instance
User secondaryUser = new User("secondary");
// Get the instance of ContentProtectionTogglePreferenceController
ContentProtectionTogglePreferenceController controller =
ContentProtectionTogglePreferenceController.getInstance();
// Exploit the vulnerability in updateState method
controller.updateState("primary", secondaryUser);
}
}

In this example, the `updateState` method is called with the primary user’s ID and the secondary user’s instance. The logic error in this method allows the secondary user to disable the primary user’s deceptive app scanning setting.

Mitigation

Users are advised to apply the vendor patch immediately to fix the issue. If the patch cannot be applied immediately, users can use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as a temporary mitigation measure.
