Summary

SpSoft AppLock (com.sp.protector.free) 7.9.40 for Android allows a local attacker with physical access to bypass fingerprint or PIN authentication. Although the app integrates Android's biometric mechanisms, the lock is implemented with a custom overlay that fails to consistently enforce authentication. By navigating cascading interface flows, an attacker can exit the lock interface without re-authentication and access protected apps, leading to information disclosure and privilege escalation.

Risk Assessment

A person with physical access to the device can access protected apps such as Chrome without re-authentication, leading to data leakage and privacy breach.

Recommendation

Update the app if a newer version is available, or consider using an alternative app-locking solution. Restrict physical access to the device.

Original NVD description (English source)

SpSoft AppLock (com.sp.protector.free) 7.9.40 for Android allows a local attacker with physical access to bypass fingerprint or PIN authentication. Although the app integrates Android's biometric mechanisms, the lock is implemented with a custom overlay that fails to consistently enforce authentication. By navigating cascading interface flows - insecure navigation through exposed routes facilitates app control evasion {I.N.T.E.R.F.A.C.E] via advertisement or browser intents - an attacker can exit the lock interface without re-authentication and access protected apps (e.g., Chrome). This results in information disclosure and privilege escalation.
