Summary

CVE-2026-81301 is a high-severity Improper Export of Android Application Components (CWE-926) vulnerability in Fluidattacks (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 8.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Inter-Process Communication (T1559); ranked at the 2th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-6 (Least Privilege) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Ekia File Manager 1.2.7 exposes com.ekia.filecontrolmanager.OpenFileProvider as an exported Android ContentProvider without requiring caller permissions. The provider maps the caller-controlled URI path directly to a filesystem path and passes it to new File(...). It then supports query(), openFile(), and delete()…

more

operations. Because the provider is exported and lacks android:permission, android:readPermission, or android:writePermission, another local application can access the provider authority and cause File Manager's process to read, create, overwrite, or delete files that are accessible to that process.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 directly requires enforcement of authorizations on logical access, which stops an exported Android component from being reachable without proper restrictions.

Least privilege reduces the exposure of exported components by limiting unnecessary authorizations granted to other apps.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.AA-05 partial match
prevents

Defining and enforcing least-privilege access permissions directly prevents unauthorized export of Android components.

PR.PS-06 partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices include configuring component exports and permission checks to avoid this weakness.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

prevents

Defining application security requirements includes specifying proper export restrictions and permission checks for components.

prevents

Secure architecture principles discourage overly permissive component exports, though the control is broader than this single weakness.

prevents

Secure-coding standards require explicit permission declarations and intent-filter restrictions to avoid improper exports.

finds

Security testing can detect exported components lacking proper restrictions, providing partial coverage of the weakness.

prevents

Enforcing information-access restrictions on exported Android components directly prevents unauthorized launch or data access.
