Exported components in Security, GetApps (MainUserAgreementActivity, AppChooserActivity) and Security Core pass attacker intents to startActivity or broadcasts, reaching non-exported activities, services and receivers, with system privileges in system apps
Vulnerability class: an attacker-controlled Intent flows to startActivity() or startService(), granting access to protected components.
An exported component relays an unvalidated nested Intent to reach protected components such as OAuth callback handlers
A malicious app on the same device forges intents to exported SDK components, such as EngageSDK's MTCommonActivity, that the SDK trusts as internal, exfiltrating private app data, tokens and wallet credentials; Microsoft published the advisory on April 9, 2026
Using a privileged app as a proxy to launch protected internal components; primary impact: access control bypass (IDs 151, 160, 163, 158, 165)
