In the SHAREit program, Trend Micro has found several vulnerabilities. The bugs may be exploited by extracting sensitive data from users, and by using malicious code or programs to run arbitrary code with the ShareIt permissions. It can also contribute to remote execution code (RCE). In the past, the software was often associated with bugs that used to download and abuse users' files. While the app allows for the upload and update of file types like the Android Package (APK), there are most definitely accidentally unconsidered bugs correlated with these functions.
SHAREit is one of the best-known applications in the Google Play Store. Users can download and distribute files and share them with others using this app. SHAREit was also one of 60 Chinese apps barred late last year in India. Notably, more than one billion times the Android application has been downloaded.
The vulnerabilities can be used to execute malicious code for the SHAREit program on smartphones. The key cause of safety deficiencies is the lack of appropriate controls on who can access the code of the program.
Echo Duan, a mobile threats analyst for security firm Trend Micro, reported that malicious applications installed on a computer and user or attackers executing a personal network attack can be able to distribute malicious instructions to the SHAREit app and hijack its legal code-execution functionality, override local files on the app, or install applications from third parties without user knowledge.
The app is also susceptible to so-called Man-in-the-Disk Attacks, a form of vulnerability first identified by Check Point in 2018 that focuses on uncertain storage of insecure app assets in the storage capacity of the ph ..
