Exploitation Conditions

The required prerequisite is GPSLogger (versionCode 137, package com.mendhak.gpslogger) installed on the device; the flaw is an insecure permission assignment (CWE-732) on the app's logging mechanism, letting an unauthorized party manipulate logging behavior and log data. The specific exposed component, permission, or interface and the exact trigger are not described in the available sources. Impact is limited to integrity of the app's own log data (no confidentiality or availability effect), and despite the input's AV:N, the CWE-732 class and Android app context indicate exploitation realistically requires local presence (e.g., another app on the same device) rather than remote network access - this limiting factor should be confirmed with the reporter.

Impact

The headline CVSS is 7.5 (High), driven entirely by a high integrity impact (I:H) with no confidentiality or availability impact and a claimed network, no-privilege, no-interaction vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). That vector is internally inconsistent with the nature of the flaw: this is CWE-732 (incorrect permission assignment) in an Android application (GPSLogger, distributed via F-Droid), and insecure-permissions issues in Android apps are characteristically local inter-app problems reached by another app on the same device (AV:L), not remote network attacks - the NVD-sourced AV:N should be verified with the reporter before being treated as remote. No EPSS score was provided, the CVE is not in CISA KEV, and no working exploit code is confirmed in the input (a third-party advisory file exists on GitHub but is an advisory, not verified exploit code). The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week', consistent with a real but non-emergency issue. Impact is also bounded: only the integrity of the app's own logging mechanism and recorded GPS log data is affected (C:N/A:N), so a successful attack falsifies or tampers with location logs rather than granting code execution or data theft. Net assessment: a genuine integrity flaw worth remediating this week, but the 7.5 score likely overstates real-world reach because the network vector appears mislabeled for a local Android permission issue.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthorized or malicious application present on the same Android device abuses GPSLogger's insecure permission configuration to reach its logging mechanism and arbitrarily manipulate or falsify the GPS log data it records. The exact exposed component and trigger are not described in the available sources. No confirmed working exploit code was identified; only a third-party advisory reference exists.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 29, 2026

GPSLogger for Android versionCode 137 (package com.mendhak.gpslogger) assigns insecure permissions to its logging mechanism, allowing an unauthorized local party to manipulate logging behavior and log data. The issue is an integrity-only weakness (CWE-732); confidentiality and availability are unaffected. The headline CVSS is 7.5 High with a network vector, but the assessed vector is local (AV:L), reflecting that exploitation realistically requires local presence, such as another app on the same device. No public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis, and the specific exposed component or trigger is not described in the available sources.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch and no exact fixed version were identified in the supplied data; consult the upstream GPSLogger repository at https://github.com/mendhak/gpslogger and the advisory at https://github.com/FFG0d/fdroid-android-advisories/blob/main/advisories/CVE-2026-107047.md for a corrected build. Until a patch is available, remove or disable GPSLogger versionCode 137 on devices where untrusted local apps may be present and review the app's log integrity for unexpected changes. Because the assessed flaw is a local permission-assignment issue, limiting local app exposure and avoiding side-loaded or untrusted applications reduces the attack surface; these are compensating controls rather than a complete fix. Apply the upstream fix when it is published.

Technical ContextAI · show details

GPSLogger is an Android application distributed under package com.mendhak.gpslogger; the affected build is versionCode 137. The root cause class is CWE-732, incorrect permission assignment for a critical resource, applied to the app's logging mechanism. The supplied CPE string is cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and the ENISA EUVD affected-version entry is n/a n/a, so the CPE does not identify an additional upstream product, platform, or version range. The exact permission, exposed component, interface, and trigger are not described in the available sources; the supplied Authentication Bypass tag does not provide a mechanism. The independent assessment assigns AV:L rather than the headline AV:N, which is consistent with the Android app and CWE-732 context: exploitation realistically requires local presence, such as another app on the same device, rather than remote network access. Impact is limited to integrity of the app's log data, with no confidentiality or availability effect.

DescriptionCVE.org

Insecure permissions in mendhak GPSLogger versionCode 137 allows unauthorized attackers to arbitrarily manipulate the app's logging mechanism and log data.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

GPSLogger for Android (versionCode 137, package com.mendhak.gpslogger) has a high-severity integrity vulnerability (CVE-2026-107047) that allows a local attacker, such as another app on the same device, to manipulate logging behavior and data. This affects users of the app, potentially compromising the integrity of location logs used for business or compliance purposes. Leadership should prioritize remediation to prevent data tampering and maintain trust in logging capabilities.

Business Impact: Medium
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include restricting GPSLogger installation to trusted users, enforcing device-level app isolation (e.g., Android work profiles), and implementing integrity monitoring for log files to detect tampering.
