Summary

The react-native-receive-sharing-intent library contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows a malicious app to write files outside the intended cache directory by supplying a crafted _display_name value with dot-dot path components. Attackers can send an ACTION_SEND intent to the exported share-receiver activity to overwrite arbitrary files in the app's private data directory, including databases, shared preferences, and cached configuration.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves overwriting critical application files such as databases or preferences, potentially leading to account takeover, data theft, or privilege escalation within the app.

Recommendation

Immediately update the react-native-receive-sharing-intent library to a patched version that fixes the path traversal vulnerability. If no update is available, temporarily disable the exported share-receiver activity or add file path validation.

Original NVD description (English source)

react-native-receive-sharing-intent contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows a co-resident malicious application to write files outside the intended cache directory by supplying a crafted _display_name value containing dot-dot path components through a malicious ContentProvider. Attackers can fire an explicit ACTION_SEND intent at the consuming app's exported share-receiver activity to overwrite arbitrary files in the consuming app's private data directory, including databases, shared preferences, and cached configuration, with attacker-controlled content.
