Technical details
The vulnerability is an insecure exported ContentProvider (com.ekia.filecontrolmanager.OpenFileProvider) that lacks permission enforcement through android:permission, android:readPermission, or android:writePermission attributes. The provider directly maps caller-controlled URI paths to filesystem paths via new File(...) and supports query(), openFile(), and delete() operations. An unprivileged local application can invoke these operations to access files with the privileges of the File Manager process, bypassing Android's typical file access controls. No patch information is currently available in the advisory.
