CVE-2019-9465 is an information disclosure vulnerability in the handling of cryptographic operations by the Titan M security module on Android 10 devices. The vulnerability arises from an unusual root cause in the cryptographic processing, allowing a local attacker to access sensitive information without requiring additional execution privileges or user interaction.

This repository is a proof-of-concept Android application demonstrating CVE-2019-9465, a vulnerability in the Android StrongBox Keymaster implementation. The main code is in 'app/src/main/java/me/alexbakker/cve_2019_9465/MainActivity.java', which provides a user interface to configure key generation options (such as requiring user authentication, using random nonces, and enabling StrongBox). The app generates AES-GCM keys in the Android Keystore, optionally requiring biometric authentication, and performs encryption/decryption cycles to demonstrate the vulnerability. The exploit is local and requires the app to be run on a compatible Android device. No network endpoints are involved; the only fingerprintable endpoints are the use of the AndroidKeyStore and the key alias 'test'. The repository structure is typical for an Android Studio project, with build scripts, resource files, and a single main Java activity implementing the exploit logic.
