AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
Physical access to IBM MaaS360 Android app up to 6.82 can crash the application, bypassing MDM restrictions to access restricted apps and settings.
Vulnerability
IBM MaaS360 Android Mobile Apps versions up to 6.82 contain a vulnerability where a user with physical access to the device can crash the application [1]. This allows the user to bypass the intended mobile device management (MDM) restrictions.
Exploitation
An attacker with physical access to the device can cause the MaaS360 application to crash, which may enable them to access restricted applications and device settings [1]. No authentication or user interaction is required beyond physical presence.
Impact
Successful exploitation allows the attacker to access restricted applications and device settings, potentially compromising the security controls enforced by the MDM [1]. The CVSS score indicates a high availability impact, with no direct confidentiality or integrity impact from the crash itself, but the bypass could lead to further compromise.
Mitigation
IBM released MaaS360 Android Mobile Application version 6.90 or later to fix this vulnerability [1]. Users should update to the latest version. No workarounds are available [1].
