Technical details
The vulnerability is a code injection flaw in the profile rendering component of the LINE Android app (versions prior to 26.7.2). The component fails to adequately validate or sandbox externally supplied script content embedded in profile templates. An attacker with the ability to inject crafted content into a profile can cause arbitrary code to execute with the application's privileges when a victim views that profile. The attack requires network reachability and user interaction (viewing a malicious profile) but no authentication. A server-side mitigation has been deployed that protects unpatched clients.
