Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • EPSS is 0.18% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Restrict local access and enforce least privilege on affected hosts.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Kruger&Matz com.pri.applock and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Recheck the vendor advisory before scheduling a change because no verified fixed version is currently retained.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: As exposure requiresRemediation target: Within 365 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

01

What, why and how

An application "com.pri.applock", which is pre-loaded on Kruger&Matz smartphones, allows a user to encrypt any application using user-provided PIN code or by using biometric data. Exposed ”com.android.providers.settings.fingerprint.PriFpShareProvider“ content provider's public method query() allows any other malicious application, without any granted Android system permissions, to exfiltrate the PIN code. Only version (version name: 13, version code: 33) was tested and confirmed to have this vulnerability. Application update was released in April 2025.

Only version (version name: 13, version code: 33) was tested and confirmed to have this vulnerability. Application update was released in April 2025.

Why

The Android application exports a component for use by other applications, but does not properly restrict which applications can launch the component or access the data it contains.

How

An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
local access → Improper Export of Android Application Components → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor
Attack surface
Local
Privileges required
None: unauthenticated exploitation is possible

CWE-926 ↗

CWE-926: Improper Export of Android Application Components. The Android application exports a component for use by other applications, but does not properly restrict which applications can launch the component or access the data it contains.

CERT Polska · Polish · CVE-2024-13915CERT Polska w social mediach

CERT Polska otrzymał zgłoszenie dotyczące podatności w aplikacjach fabrycznie zainstalowanych na telefonach Ulefone i Krüger&Matz i koordynował proces ujawniania informacji. Podatność CVE-2024-13915 : Telefony z systemem Android od producentów takich jak Ulefone i Krüger&Matz zawierają aplikację "com.pri.factorytest", instalowaną fabrycznie podczas procesu produkcji. Aplikacja „com.pri.factorytest” (version name: 1.0, version code: 1) udostępnia usługę "com.pri.factorytest.emmc.FactoryResetService", która umożliwia dowolnej aplikacji uruchomienie funkcji przywrócenia ustawień fabrycznych urządzenia. Zaktualizowana aplikacja nie ma wyższej wersji, została jednak dołączona do wydań systemu operacyjnego datowanych po grudniu 2024 roku w przypadku Ulefone i najprawdopodobniej po marcu 2025 roku w przypadku Krüger&Matz (producent nie potwierdził jednak tej informacji, więc nowsze wydania również mogą być podatne). Podatność CVE-2024-13916 : Aplikacja "com.pri.applock", fabrycznie zainstalowana na telefonach Krüger&Matz, umożliwia użytkownikowi szyfrowanie dowolnych aplikacji za pomocą kodu PIN lub danych biometrycznych. Publiczna metoda "query()" udostępniona przez dostawcę treści "com.android.providers.settings.fingerprint.PriFpShareProvider" umożliwia złośliwej aplikacji, nieposiadającej żadnych uprawnień systemowych Androida, pozyskanie kodu PIN. Producent nie udostępnił informacji o podatnych wersjach. Jedynie wersja (version name: 13, version code: 33) została przetestowana i potwierdzono w niej podatność. Podatność CVE-2024-13917 : Aplikacja "com.pri.applock", fabrycznie zainstalowana na telefonach Krüger&Matz, umożliwia użytkownikowi szyfrowanie dowolnych aplikacji za pomocą kodu PIN lub danych biometrycznych. Udostępniona aktywność "com.pri.applock.LockUI" pozwala dowolnej złośliwej aplikacji, nieposiadającej żadnych uprawnień systemowych Androida, wstrzyknąć dowolny intent do chronionej aplikacji z uprawnieniami systemowymi. Warunkiem jest znajomość kodu PIN (który może zostać ujawniony poprzez wykorzystanie CVE-2024-13916) lub uzyskanie go od użytkownika. Producent nie udostępnił informacji o podatnych wersjach. Jedynie wersja (version name: 13, version code: 33) została przetestowana i potwierdzono w niej podatność.
