일반적인 결과

범위	영향	가능성
Confidentiality	Read Application Data 참고: Other applications, possibly untrusted, can read the data that is offered through the Intent.
Integrity	Varies by Context 참고: The application may handle responses from untrusted applications on the device, which could cause it to perform unexpected or unauthorized actions.

관찰된 예시

참고 자료	설명
CVE-2022-4903	An Android application does not use FLAG_IMMUTABLE when creating a PendingIntent.

잠재적 완화 방법

Phases : Implementation
If the application only requires communication with its own components, then the destination is always known, and an explicit intent could be used.

탐지 방법

Automated Static Analysis

Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.)
효과성 : High

취약점 매핑 메모

근거 : This CWE entry is at the Variant level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.
댓글 : Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.
