Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2025-22441 is a high-severity privilege escalation vulnerability in the Android Framework component. The flaw is located in getContextForResourcesEnsuringCorrectCachedApkPaths in RemoteViews.java and arises from a confused deputy condition that can allow arbitrary Java code to be loaded in a privileged context. Successful exploitation could enable an attacker to cause privileged framework code to operate on behalf of a less-privileged actor, resulting in local escalation of privilege. Exploitation requires user interaction and does not require additional execution privileges beyond those already available to the attacker on the device.

This repository is a full Android application exploit for CVE-2025-22441, targeting a vulnerability in the Android framework's handling of RemoteViews and ApplicationInfo. The exploit leverages the ability to craft a malicious APK and manipulate ApplicationInfo fields to trick the SystemUI process into loading attacker-controlled code. The main exploit logic is in MainActivity.java, which orchestrates the attack by creating a fake APK, crafting RemoteViews with manipulated ApplicationInfo, and triggering the vulnerable SystemUI component (SlicePermissionActivity) via a notification. The exploit uses a custom ContentProvider for synchronization and communication between the attacker's app and the SystemUI process. The payload (Shellcode.java) is executed in the context of SystemUI, where it can enumerate permissions, execute shell commands, and clean up after exploitation. The repository includes all necessary Android project files, resources, and build scripts, making it a fully operational proof-of-concept exploit for the referenced CVE.
