This repository is a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) Android application demonstrating exploitation of CVE-2019-2198, a SQL injection vulnerability in the Download Provider component of AOSP (Android Open Source Project). The main exploit logic resides in 'app/src/main/java/com/ioactive/downloadProviderDbDumperSQLiWhere/MainActivity.java'. The app interacts with the Download Provider content provider using the URI 'content://downloads/my_downloads/' and injects SQL via the selection parameter to extract sensitive data from the provider's database. The exploit automates the process of populating the downloads table with dummy entries, then uses SQL injection to enumerate and dump information about downloads belonging to other users or apps, including file paths, URIs, titles, descriptions, UIDs, cookies, and ETags. The attack vector is local, requiring the malicious app to be installed on the device. The repository includes standard Android project files, build scripts, and resources, with the exploit logic implemented in Java. This PoC does not weaponize the exploit beyond data extraction and is intended for research and demonstration purposes.
