Summary

On Wear OS devices, when Google Messages is configured as the default SMS/MMS/RCS application, the handling of ACTION_SENDTO intents using the sms:, smsto:, mms:, and mmsto: URI schemes is incorrectly implemented. An attacker capable of invoking an Android intent can send messages on the user's behalf without further interaction or permissions.

Original NVD description (English source)

On Wear OS devices, when Google Messages is configured as the default SMS/MMS/RCS application, the handling of ACTION_SENDTO intents utilizing the sms:, smsto:, mms:, and mmsto: Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) schemes is incorrectly implemented. Due to this misconfiguration, an attacker capable of invoking an Android intent can exploit this vulnerability to send messages on the user’s behalf to arbitrary receivers without requiring any further user interaction or specific permissions. This allows for the silent and unauthorized transmission of messages from a compromised Wear OS device.
