What is CVE-2019-15404?

The Asus ZenFone Max 4 features a pre-installed application, com.asus.loguploaderproxy, which allows other pre-installed applications to execute commands without proper restrictions. This vulnerability arises from the app’s design that permits any pre-installed application with signatureOrSystem privileges to interact with exported components of other pre-installed applications, potentially leading to unauthorized command execution. Users should be aware of the risks associated with pre-installed applications and apply necessary updates as they are made available to mitigate potential exploits.
