CVE-2026-44965
MediumCVSS 5.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk2th percentile - higher than 2% of all known CVEs
Summary
In the Datadog Android app before v545-5.9.2, six widget configuration activities are exported without permission guards. A malicious app can exploit sequential widget IDs to hijack a user's session and display infrastructure data on screen.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves leakage of sensitive operational data via a visual side channel (e.g., screen recording), potentially exposing infrastructure information to unauthorized parties.
Recommendation
Immediately update the Datadog app to v545-5.9.2 or later, which includes a fix for the exported activities.
Original NVD description (English source)
In versions of the Datadog Android application prior to v545-5.9.2, six App Widget configuration activities (IncidentWidgetActivity, MonitorSavedViewWidgetActivity, OnCallShiftsWidgetActivity, OnCallPagesWidgetActivity, SloWidgetActivity, DashboardWidgetActivity) are exported with no permission guard. Each accepts a caller-supplied AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID and, when no deep-link destination is resolved, uses it to load the matching widget's stored session and automatically log in as that user. Because Android widget IDs are small sequential integers, a co-installed application can brute-force this value to find one that matches a widget configured on the victim's device. This requires: A malicious application co-installed on the victim's device. At least one of the six widgets configured on the victim's home screen. An active Datadog session cached locally. Impact: The matching configuration activity opens in the foreground under the victim's session and renders live infrastructure data. Exposure is limited to a visual side channel (e.g., screen recording or accessibility services); the calling application cannot programmatically read the rendered data.
