Overview

CWE-926 (Improper Export of Android Application Components) documents a weakness type used across vulnerability databases and security assessments. Use the sections below for definition, context, and mapped CVEs.

Security impact
Security impact: Depends on product and context; use CVE records, severity scores, and MITRE guidance to prioritize.

Description

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.

Background details

Extended context from the CWE catalog (rendered from MITRE XHTML).

There are three types of components that can be exported in an Android application.

  • An Activity is an application component that provides a UI for users to interact with. A typical application will have multiple Activity screens that perform different functions, such as a main Activity screen and a separate settings Activity screen.
  • A Service is an application component that is started by another component to execute an operation in the background, even after the invoking component is terminated. Services do not have a UI component visible to the user.
  • The Content Provider mechanism can be used to share data with other applications or internally within the same application.
