Co-installed app requires local device access (AV:L); zero permissions needed (PR:N); intent fires without victim interaction beyond app installation (UI:N); full OAuth session takeover yields high C and I with no availability impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

The launcher activity AppActivity in the Datadog Android application is declared android:exported="true" with launchMode="singleTask" and no permission guard. On every onCreate and onNewIntent, it invokes Intent.getUserSession(), an extension that deserializes a full UserSession - user identity, OAuth access and refresh tokens, host, organization, datacenter, and permissions - from Bundle extras keyed under the com.datadog.app.* namespace. This extension lives in the main sourceset, not a test-only sourceset, despite a misleading comment referencing internal test fixtures. Any application installed on the device can invoke the launcher with arbitrary session extras. The startup pipeline accepts the injected session, persists it to user storage, optionally rotates persisted token storage when an OAUTH_OVERRIDE_TOKEN extra is set, and performs an automatic login under the attacker-chosen identity. The session preparer returns Ready without contacting the backend whenever the injected access token is not flagged as expired-or-expiring-soon, so no server-side token introspection takes place before auto-login. Preconditions: the Datadog application installed on the victim device, and a zero-permission co-installed malicious application. The attacker must possess any OAuth access token they are willing to have the victim use, including the attacker's own Datadog tokens.

AnalysisAI

Session injection in the Datadog Android app (versions prior to 5.9.2) allows any zero-permission co-installed application to hijack the victim's Datadog identity by delivering crafted OAuth tokens directly to an unguarded exported activity, which auto-logs the victim in under an attacker-controlled identity without backend token validation. The vulnerability stems from AppActivity being declared android:exported='true' with no permission guard, accepting and persisting arbitrary UserSession data deserialized from intent Bundle extras. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires all of the following: (1) Datadog Android application installed on the victim's device in a version prior to 5.9.2; (2) a zero-permission co-installed malicious application on the same physical device, requiring social engineering or unrestricted sideloading capability - this is the primary limiting constraint; (3) the attacker must possess any valid Datadog OAuth access token not currently flagged as expired or expiring soon, including their own tokens - the session preparer's Ready path explicitly skips backend introspection under this condition, making the attacker's own credentials sufficient; and (4) the victim's device must permit installation of third-party applications outside an MDM allowlist. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS vector of AV:N (network) directly conflicts with the described attack mechanism, which requires a malicious application to be co-installed on the victim's physical device - this is an AV:L (local) scenario. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade the Datadog Android application to version 5.9.2 or later; this is the vendor-confirmed patched release per EUVD-2026-54568, with details at https://trust.datadoghq.com/?tcuUid=2e8b8fa5-39ca-43f4-9f6a-aeafafb440ef. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
