Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a malicious Android application to be installed and active on the same physical device as the vulnerable RoboForm Password Manager - the CVSS vector AV:L confirms the attack is device-local, not network-reachable. The CVSS modifier UI:A (active user interaction required) indicates some user-initiated action must occur to trigger the malicious Intent dispatch; the exact interaction type (e.g., opening the malicious app, tapping a UI element) is not specified in the available data but is required. No authentication to RoboForm itself is needed by the attacker (PR:N), but the attacker's malicious app must already be present on the device. Exploitation is limited by: the need for a co-installed malicious application, mandatory user interaction, local-only attack surface (cannot be triggered remotely), and a low integrity impact ceiling (VI:L) with no direct confidentiality impact on the vulnerable system component as scored. Non-default conditions that enable the attack include the presence of a sideloaded or otherwise untrusted application on the device.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 4.6 (Medium) with vector AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A reflects two meaningful constraints: local attack vector and required active user interaction. AV:L confirms the attacker cannot reach this over a network - a co-installed malicious app is required, which itself assumes a prior compromise or social engineering step. UI:A further limits opportunistic at-scale exploitation. Integrity impact is rated Low (VI:L) with no confidentiality impact on the vulnerable system component itself, though the 'Information Disclosure' tag in the intelligence feed and the silent download behavior suggest secondary risk: downloaded files could be used as staging material for follow-on local exploitation. No EPSS score was provided in the available data, preventing quantitative exploitation-probability comparison. No CISA KEV listing and no identified POC code corroborate the assessment that this is not currently being actively exploited at scale. The primary real-world concern is targeted attack scenarios involving a malicious companion app, not mass exploitation. The sensitivity of the affected product - a password manager storing credentials - elevates the consequence if exploitation is chained with other techniques.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A malicious Android application - delivered via sideloading or a deceptive Play Store listing - is installed on the same device as RoboForm Password Manager. When the user interacts with the malicious app (satisfying the UI:A requirement), it dispatches a crafted Android Intent to RoboForm containing a URL pointing to attacker-controlled infrastructure. RoboForm silently fetches the URL and writes the downloaded payload to device storage with no prompt, dialog, or notification visible to the user, potentially staging a file for a subsequent local privilege escalation or exfiltrating device context through the outbound HTTP request metadata. No public POC code has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – May 20, 2026

Silent file download in RoboForm Password Manager for Android (Siber Systems, Inc.) can be triggered by a co-installed malicious application delivering a crafted Android Intent containing an attacker-controlled URL. RoboForm fails to validate the URL destination, request user confirmation, or surface any notification before fetching and writing remote content to the device. Reported by JPCERT (JVNVU93461473) with no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, placing this in a moderate-low real-world risk category despite the sensitive nature of the affected product - a password manager.

RemediationAI

Users should update RoboForm Password Manager to the latest version available on Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siber.roboform). The vendor has published a news advisory at https://www.roboform.com/news-android which should be consulted to confirm the exact patched version number - that version is not independently confirmed from the intelligence data provided, so do not rely on an assumed version without verifying against the vendor advisory or JPCERT JVNVU93461473. As a compensating control pending update, audit all applications installed on affected Android devices and remove untrusted, unknown, or sideloaded applications, since the attack requires a co-installed malicious app capable of sending Intents. Disabling installation from unknown sources (Settings > Security > Unknown Sources) reduces the probability of a malicious intent-sender being introduced onto the device. Enterprise administrators using MDM solutions should consider enforcing app allowlists to prevent co-installation of unauthorized apps alongside credential managers.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability lies in Android's Inter-Process Communication (IPC) mechanism - specifically the Intent system, which allows any application installed on a device to dispatch messages (Intents) to other apps. RoboForm exposes one or more Intent-receiving components (Activity, Service, or BroadcastReceiver) that accept URL parameters without enforcing origin trust, URL allowlisting, or scheme validation. CWE-357 captures the insufficient-notification dimension: the application proceeds with a potentially dangerous operation - fetching and persisting remote content - without surfacing any user-visible confirmation dialog or system notification. The result is that the URL-fetch side-effect of the Intent is completely opaque to the user. Because the product is a password manager, the implicit trust users place in it makes silent background activity particularly significant from a security posture standpoint.
