Exploitation Conditions

The required target is ProjectMAXS MAXS Main v0.5.19 (versionCode 19), a modular Android automation app whose command/transport mechanism is protected by insecure permissions (CWE-732); an attacker must be able to reach that insufficiently restricted interface to issue or alter MAXS commands. The CVSS vector states no authentication, privileges, or user interaction are needed, which limits defensive barriers; however, the exact trigger surface is not described in the available sources - insecure-permission flaws on Android are usually exploited by a malicious co-installed application or local actor via an exported component rather than over an open network, so the practical limiting factor is likely local presence on the device despite the AV:N label. Impact is confined to integrity of the app's automation/command mechanism (C:N, A:N); confidentiality and availability are not affected.

Impact

Signals are mixed and point to a low real-world priority despite the 7.5 'High' base score. The NVD CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) describes a network-reachable, unauthenticated, integrity-only flaw, and SSVC rates it Automatable:yes with partial technical impact, which together would normally argue for attention. However, EPSS is only 0.17% (6th percentile), the vulnerability is NOT on CISA KEV (no confirmed active exploitation), and the affected product - ProjectMAXS MAXS Main, a niche F-Droid Android remote-control app - has a very small deployment footprint, so Automatable:yes does not translate into broad opportunistic risk. There is also a notable conflict between the vector and the mechanism: the defect is CWE-732 (incorrect/insecure permissions) in an Android application, which typically means a co-installed malicious app or local actor abusing an exported/over-permissive component rather than a truly remote network attack; AV:N as assigned by MITRE should be verified against the actual transport, because insecure-permission Android flaws are usually local (AV:L). The vuln.today 'this_week' label and SSVC poc status justify tracking and patching, but the combination of low EPSS, no KEV, integrity-only impact (C:N/A:N), and tiny install base makes this a lower urgency than the raw score suggests.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A malicious or unauthorized party interacts with MAXS Main's insufficiently protected command/transport interface and issues or tampers with MAXS commands that the app should have restricted, manipulating its automation mechanism without legitimate authorization. A proof-of-concept is referenced in a public F-Droid Android advisory, though it is not verified as working exploit code. Because CVSS rates attack complexity low with no privileges or user interaction required, triggering the manipulation is straightforward once the exposed interface is reachable.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026

Insecure permissions in ProjectMAXS MAXS Main v0.5.19 (versionCode 19) allow an attacker who can reach the app's MAXS command/transport mechanism to manipulate it, with integrity impact only and no confidentiality or availability effect. The independent assessment scores this as CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N rather than the supplied AV:N vector, and the exact trigger surface is not described in the available sources; practical exposure is likely tied to local device presence or a malicious co-installed app. EPSS is 0.17% (6th percentile), SSVC records exploitation as 'poc' and a public PoC reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code, and no CISA KEV entry is provided, so the real-world priority remains low despite the 7.5 base score.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; the references do not list a fixed version or vendor workaround. Monitor the F-Droid package page (https://f-droid.org/packages/org.projectmaxs.main/), upstream Bitbucket repository (https://bitbucket.org/projectmaxs/maxs), and the referenced advisory (https://github.com/FFG0d/fdroid-android-advisories/blob/main/advisories/CVE-2026-107044.md) plus NVD (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-107044) for a corrected build. Until a fix is published, limit exposure of the MAXS command/transport interface on devices running v0.5.19 to trusted apps and users, and avoid co-installing untrusted applications; these are deployment restrictions, not a confirmed vendor mitigation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is CWE-732 (Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource) in an Android automation app. ProjectMAXS MAXS Main is a modular Android automation framework distributed via F-Droid as org.projectmaxs.main; its MAXS command/transport interface is insufficiently restricted, so an attacker able to reach that interface can issue or alter commands. The supplied CPE is cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and EUVD lists affected versions as n/a, so exact component and permission details are not available. The base vector is AV:N while the independent assessment uses AV:L, consistent with a practical requirement for local device presence or a co-installed malicious app; the sources do not describe the precise trigger.

DescriptionCVE.org

Insecure permissions in ProjectMAXS MAXS Main v0.5.19 (versionCode 19) allows unauthorized attackers to arbitrarily manipulate the app's MAXS command/transport mechanism.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity permission flaw in ProjectMAXS MAXS Main v0.5.19 could allow manipulation of the app's command/transport mechanism, resulting in integrity damage but no data exposure or service disruption. Exposure is realistically limited to scenarios where an attacker has local device presence or a malicious co-installed app, so leadership concern should focus on devices running this Android app rather than broad organizational risk. Real-world priority remains modest given low exploitation probability and no confirmed active exploitation.

Business Impact: Medium
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: remove or isolate ProjectMAXS MAXS Main v0.5.19 from sensitive devices, restrict installations to trusted sources, enforce mobile threat defense and device integrity controls, and monitor for malicious co-installed apps or anomalous transport activity.
