Summary

The Cordova plugin cordova-plugin-x-socialsharing (SocialSharing-PhoneGap-Plugin) for Android 6.0.4 registers an exported broadcast receiver nl.xservices.plugins.ShareChooserPendingIntent with an android.intent.action.SEND intent filter. The onReceive implementation accesses Intent.EXTRA_CHOSEN_COMPONENT without checking for null, so a broadcast with extras but without EXTRA_CHOSEN_COMPONENT causes a NullPointerException. Because the receiver is exported and performs no permission or caller validation, any local application can send crafted ACTION_SEND broadcasts to repeatedly crash the host application.

Risk Assessment

A local, unauthenticated attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) in any app that includes this plugin by repeatedly crashing it.

Recommendation

Update cordova-plugin-x-socialsharing to a version that fixes this flaw, or remove the exported receiver / add null checks and permission validation.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Cordova plugin cordova-plugin-x-socialsharing (SocialSharing-PhoneGap-Plugin) for Android 6.0.4, registers an exported broadcast receiver nl.xservices.plugins.ShareChooserPendingIntent with an android.intent.action.SEND intent filter. The onReceive implementation accesses Intent.EXTRA_CHOSEN_COMPONENT without checking for null. If a broadcast is sent with extras present but without EXTRA_CHOSEN_COMPONENT, the code dereferences a null value and throws a NullPointerException. Because the receiver is exported and performs no permission or caller validation, any local application on the device can send crafted ACTION_SEND broadcasts to this component and repeatedly crash the host application, resulting in a local, unauthenticated application-level denial of service for any app that includes the plugin.
