Exploitation Conditions

Requires physical possession of or local access to a device that has the GEO app (ゲオアプリ) installed on Android or iOS, and the ability to read the application's local on-device storage where the user's password is written in cleartext (CWE-312). Exploitation is strictly limited by the physical attack vector (AV:P) - it cannot be performed remotely or over a network - and additionally requires that a user has saved/logged in credentials in the app (PR:L). It does not require user interaction. The practical exposure is a lost, stolen, shared, or forensically-examined device.

Impact

This is a genuinely low-to-moderate priority issue, consistent with its 4.3 (Medium) CVSS score, and the limiting factor is the attack vector rather than the impact. The provided CVSS 3.0 vector (AV:P/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) requires PHYSICAL access to the device plus low-level privileges (an app user), which is the dominant risk-reducing signal: this cannot be exploited remotely or at scale. The impact is scoped to confidentiality (C:H) - disclosure of a stored user password - with no integrity or availability effect, matching CWE-312 (cleartext storage). No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided in the input, so there is no evidence of exploitation probability or active abuse; the absence of these signals is itself consistent with a physical-access-only mobile credential-storage flaw, which is typically targeted (e.g., lost/stolen/forensically-examined device or a shared/compromised device) rather than widely weaponized. No signals conflict: the physical vector, authenticated privilege, and confidentiality-only impact all point the same direction. The main residual concern is credential reuse - a recovered cleartext password may unlock other services.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who gains physical access to a victim's unlocked or forensically-accessible device (e.g., a lost, stolen, shared, or seized phone) inspects the app's local storage for the GEO app (ゲオアプリ) and reads the user's password, which is stored in cleartext. Because passwords are frequently reused, the recovered credential may then be tried against the victim's other accounts. No public exploit code was provided, and exploitation is bounded by the need for physical device access.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 15, 2026

The GEO app (ゲオアプリ) for Android and iOS stores user passwords in cleartext within its local storage, allowing an attacker with physical access to a device to read the credentials. This vulnerability (CWE-312) has a CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium) and requires physical possession of an unlocked device with the app installed and a saved password. No public exploit code is known at time of analysis, and no vendor patch has been identified.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. Users should monitor the JVN advisory (https://jvn.jp/en/jp/JVN40460777/) for updates from the vendor. As a workaround, avoid saving passwords within the app if the option exists, and use a dedicated password manager instead. Ensure devices are protected with strong encryption (e.g., Android full-disk encryption or iOS data protection), a strong passcode or biometric lock, and enable remote wipe capabilities. Be aware that these measures are compensating controls and may not prevent access if an attacker can bypass device locks (e.g., via jailbreak/root or forensic tools). Additionally, keep the app updated to the latest version in case a patch is released.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is a cleartext storage of sensitive information (CWE-312) in the GEO app (ゲオアプリ) mobile application. The app writes user passwords to its local storage without encryption, making them accessible to anyone who can read the app's data directory. This typically requires physical access to the device (AV:P) and some level of privilege (PR:L), such as the ability to access the filesystem (e.g., via root/jailbreak, backup extraction, or debugging tools). The attack does not require user interaction (UI:N) and has a high confidentiality impact (C:H) as it exposes credentials. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.0/AV:P/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N reflects these constraints. Affected products are identified by CPE as 'ゲオアプリ' for Android and iOS.

Reading cleartext credentials needs physical device access (AV:P) and an app-user privilege level (PR:L); impact is password disclosure only, so C:H with I:N/A:N.
