CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Datadog Android application is vulnerable due to the OnCallNotificationActivity being exported without permission restrictions, allowing any co-installed app to invoke it with malicious Intent extras. This can lead to unauthorized actions, such as sending forged Acknowledge requests using the victim's session, launching attacker-controlled activities, and bypassing the lock screen, which poses a significant risk for users with active Datadog sessions. Organizations using the Datadog app on Android devices should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to safeguard against potential exploitation by malicious applications.
Original NVD Description
In versions of the Datadog Android application prior to v545-5.9.2, OnCallNotificationActivity is declared exported with no permission guard. A co-installed application can launch it with attacker-controlled Intent extras, including a full-screen lock-screen message, an arbitrary on-call page ID, and an arbitrary Intent to run inside the Datadog process. This requires: A malicious application co-installed on the victim's device. An active Datadog session in the Android app. Impact: After a single tap on the Acknowledge button, the app sends a forged on-call acknowledgement to the backend under the victim's session, launches the attacker-supplied Intent from within the Datadog process (reaching otherwise non-exported components), and turns on the screen while dismissing the keyguard.
