Description

Summary when jadx parses a resource file, there is an escape problem with the style file, which can overwrite other files in the directory when saving the decompile result. Although I don't think this vulnerability realizes path traversal in the true sense of the word , I reported it anyway Details I see that getResAlias does something with the filename. ```java private String getResAlias(int resRef, String origKeyName, @Nullable FieldNode constField) { ``` but type style will return the original filename directly. so our goal is to take a malicious file that was originally of type raw, modify its type to style, trick jadx into step1 create an android project using androidstudio and create a raw folder with the name attack_file_sayhiiiiiiiiiiiii, it doesn't matter what the content is! generate an initial APK step2 extract this initial APK using ZIP software to get resources.arsc drop resources.arsc into 010editor step3 search for the previous filename attack_file_sayhiiiiiiiiiiiii , two will appear here, we choose the second one let's change the name of the file here. I'll change it to ../../_file_sayhiiiiiiiiiiiii note that you can only overwrite files in the folder where the decompile was saved. step4 change the type of this file to style modified to 0E step5 After saving, re-compress the whole folder into a zip, then change the extension to APK. open it with JADX and you can see that it has been changed to a style type. click save all you can see the file escaping. so we can also construct a so the classes.dex file is also replaced here PoC the details above have been written Impact latest version
