DescriptionGitHub Advisory

ADB Explorer is a fluent UI for ADB on Windows. Prior to Beta 0.9.26020, ADB Explorer is vulnerable to Insecure Deserialization leading to Remote Code Execution. The application attempts to deserialize the App.txt settings file using Newtonsoft.Json with TypeNameHandling set to Objects. This allows an attacker to supply a crafted JSON file containing a gadget chain (e.g., ObjectDataProvider) to execute arbitrary code when the application launches and subsequently saves its settings. This vulnerability is fixed in Beta 0.9.26020.

AnalysisAI

ADB Explorer on Windows versions prior to Beta 0.9.26020 allows local attackers to achieve remote code execution by crafting a malicious App.txt settings file that exploits insecure JSON deserialization with enabled type name handling. An attacker can inject a gadget chain payload into the configuration file that executes arbitrary code when the application launches and processes settings. …
