What is CVE-2016-1492?

Lenovo SHAREit for Android prior to version 3.5.48_ww has a significant security vulnerability allowing unauthorized access through its WiFi hotspot feature. When configured to receive files, the hotspot lacks a password requirement, enabling attackers within the WLAN coverage area to execute remote file transfer exploitation. This breaches the confidentiality of data exchanged, posing risks of unauthorized data access.
