MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Discovery, Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the victim to manually extract an attacker-crafted TAR, 7z, or RAR archive within MP Manager (through version 1.1.0); the malicious archive must contain an entry named using the '....//file' pattern that defeats the non-recursive sanitizeEntryName filter and collapses to '../file'. The flaw works against default behavior (no special app configuration is needed), but it is strictly limited by the requirement for local user interaction - the attacker cannot trigger extraction remotely or without the user opening the archive - and by the scope of what MP Manager can write on shared storage. Impact is confined to file creation/overwrite (integrity); no confidentiality or availability impact applies. |
| Impact | The signals are consistent and point to a moderate, non-urgent risk. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:A, VI:H only) describes a local, user-interaction-dependent file-write flaw with high integrity impact but no confidentiality or availability impact, yielding a 6.7 (Medium) score. This aligns with the SSVC assessment: Exploitation=poc (proof-of-concept, not active), Automatable=no (each attack requires a victim to manually extract a crafted archive, so it cannot be mass-automated), and Technical Impact=partial. There is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score was provided in the input, so there is no evidence of widespread or opportunistic exploitation. The limiting factor is significant: an attacker cannot exploit this remotely or silently - a user must choose to extract an attacker-supplied TAR/7z/RAR inside MP Manager. This is therefore a legitimate but low-priority issue: a real, confirmed-with-PoC bug in a niche hobbyist Android app rather than a broadly exploitable threat. Note the input provides no EPSS value, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood could not be cross-referenced. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker distributes a malicious archive (via download, messaging, or a shared file) containing an entry named like '....//payload' that bypasses the non-recursive sanitizeEntryName filter and resolves to '../payload'. When a victim extracts the archive using MP Manager (through v1.1.0), the file is written outside the intended extraction folder, letting the attacker create or overwrite files anywhere the app can write on shared storage. A public proof-of-concept is referenced (SSVC Exploitation=poc, with a VulnCheck advisory and hackmd write-up); exploitation requires local user interaction (UI:A) rather than remote access. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026
Path traversal in MP Manager through 1.1.0 allows a local attacker to write files outside the intended extraction folder by supplying a crafted TAR, 7z, or RAR archive whose entry names such as ....//file bypass the app's non-recursive sanitizeEntryName filter and collapse to ../file. Exploitation requires the victim to manually extract the malicious archive in MP Manager, and the independent assessment limits impact to integrity (file creation or overwrite) on storage the app can write, with no confidentiality or availability impact. Publicly available exploit code exists, but there is no CISA KEV confirmation of active exploitation, and the CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.7 in a moderate, non-urgent risk context.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; MP Manager 1.1.0 is the latest referenced version and remains affected. Until a fixed release is available, avoid extracting untrusted TAR, 7z, or RAR archives with MP Manager through 1.1.0; use an alternative extractor that canonicalizes entry paths and rejects traversal sequences, accepting the trade-off of losing MP Manager's built-in extraction workflow. Users who do not need archive extraction can disable or avoid that feature, and can restrict MP Manager's storage permissions to the minimum required to limit where a malicious archive can write, though this may impair legitimate file-management functions. Developers able to build from source should patch sanitizeEntryName to recursively strip traversal sequences or canonicalize the final path before writing and reject entries that resolve outside the target directory; this requires custom maintenance. Monitor https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/mp-manager-through-1.1.0-path-traversal-via-archive-extraction-sanitizeentryname-bypass and the project release page https://github.com/AbdurazaaqMohammed/MP-Manager/releases/tag/1.1.0 for a fixed version.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is MP Manager's archive extraction utility, implemented in ArchiveUtil.java (source references lines 134-152 and 226-231), which handles TAR, 7z, and RAR entries. The root cause is CWE-22 improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory: sanitizeEntryName is non-recursive, so an entry name like ....//file is transformed only once and becomes ../file, permitting writes outside the chosen extraction directory. The CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A vector and the independent CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N assessment confirm the attack is local and requires the user to open the archive; the scope is what MP Manager can write on shared storage. SSVC marks exploitation as poc, automatable no, and technical impact partial; EUVD lists the affected version as MP Manager 0 through 1.1.0.

DescriptionCVE.org
MP Manager through 1.1.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows attackers to write files outside the extraction folder by bypassing the non-recursive sanitizeEntryName filter. Attackers can craft TAR, 7z or RAR entries named ....//file that become ../file, creating or overwriting files anywhere the app can write on shared storage.
