Vulnerability Assessment
| Weakness |
CWE
ASVS 5.0
V15 - Secure Coding and Architecture Improper export of Android components
|
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires LOCAL access to the Android device - specifically a second, attacker-controlled application installed on the same device as Shortcutter 2 App 9.0.48 (PR:L reflects the low privilege of an ordinary installed app, not system/root). The attacker leverages an improperly exported Android component that passes an attacker-influenced argument into Class.forName within ToggleGeneric.java. Limiting factors: there is no network/remote vector (AV:L), the attacker must first get a malicious app onto the device, and impact is bounded to Low with no privilege or scope escalation to other systems. Upgrading to version 9.0.90 remediates the issue. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely medium/low real-world risk, not a false-positive high-CVSS issue - in fact the signals are consistent and all point to limited severity. The CVSS 4.0 base vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) requires local access and at least low privileges, meaning an attacker already needs a foothold on the device (typically a malicious co-resident app), which substantially caps exploitability. Impact is uniformly Low across confidentiality, integrity and availability (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) with no subsequent-system impact (SC/SI/SA:N), fitting CWE-926 (improper export of Android components) where a sibling app can reach a component that should have been private. A public exploit exists (POC=YES) and the CVSS carries E:P (Proof-of-Concept exploit maturity), but there is NO CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score was provided, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation. The missing EPSS data is a gap, but given the local-only vector and niche product, low-volume real-world exploitation is the reasonable expectation. No signals are conflicting; the main uncertainty is the absence of EPSS/KEV data rather than any contradiction. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A user installs a malicious or compromised Android app alongside Shortcutter 2 (v9.0.48). Because ToggleGeneric.java uses Class.forName on an attacker-influenceable argument through an improperly exported component, the malicious app sends a crafted intent/IPC to invoke or instantiate an unintended class, leaking information or triggering unintended behavior. A public proof-of-concept for this attack has been disclosed. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 20, 2026
Improperly exported Android components in LeeDrOiD Labs Shortcutter 2 App 9.0.48 let a second, attacker-controlled application installed on the same device drive the app's internal ToggleGeneric logic and pass an arbitrary class name into Class.forName, producing low-severity information disclosure plus limited integrity and availability impact confined to the device. The attack is strictly local - there is no network vector - and requires only the ordinary privileges of a co-installed app (CVSS PR:L), so the attacker must first convince the user to install a malicious package. Publicly available exploit code exists (VulDB disclosure with a linked proof-of-concept document), but there is no CISA KEV listing, and the vendor was contacted early and released a fixed build, 9.0.90.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Shortcutter 2 App to version 9.0.90, available from the Google Play listing (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leedroid.shortcutter); the vendor responded promptly to the report and published the fixed build, and the vendor/coordinator record with technical detail is at https://vuldb.com/vuln/422658 while the disclosure submission is at https://vuldb.com/submit/1003932. Because the fix is a client-side Android app update, the practical rollout path is Play Store auto-update or a manual update prompt, and organizations that sideload or pin app versions should verify the installed version string is 9.0.90 or later. Where updating is temporarily impossible, the specific compensating controls are: remove the app from devices where it is not operationally required (eliminates exposure entirely but loses the toggle functionality), or confine installation to a managed profile/work profile with a tightly restricted app allowlist so no untrusted third-party app can co-reside with Shortcutter 2 and reach the exported component (reduces the co-installation precondition, at the cost of management overhead and reduced user flexibility). Generic mobile hygiene - installing only Play-Protect-vetted apps and avoiding sideloaded APKs - directly attacks the PR:L precondition, since the exploit requires the attacker to first land a malicious app on the same device; note that this is a preventive control, not a guarantee, and does not repair the exported component itself.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-926, Improper Export of Android Application Components: a component (activity, service, receiver, or provider) in Shortcutter 2 App is reachable by other applications on the device without being protected by a signature-level or custom permission. Because the component is exported, an intent crafted by a malicious co-installed app reaches ToggleGeneric.java, where the supplied argument is fed into the reflective call Class.forName. Reflection over an attacker-influenced class name lets the caller force the loading/instantiation of classes the developer did not intend to expose, which is how the disclosure and the limited integrity/availability effects arise. Constraints keep the severity at Low: the CVSS 4.0 vector AV:L/PR:L with VC:L/VI:L/VA:L and no subsequent-system or scope impact, matching our independent CVSS 3.1 assessment of AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:leedroid_labs:shortcutter_2_app:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* is a wildcard entry, so the practical affected set is Android installations of the app at the vulnerable 9.0.48 build (and, absent vendor detail, presumably earlier builds) rather than a precisely enumerated version range.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability has been found in LeeDrOiD Labs Shortcutter 2 App 9.0.48 on Android. This issue affects the function Class.forName of the file ToggleGeneric.java. The manipulation of the argument Class leads to improper export of android application components. Local access is required to approach this attack. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 9.0.90 is capable of addressing this issue. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component. The vendor was contacted early, responded in a very professional manner and quickly released a fixed version of the affected product.
