QuickShell: Sharing Is Caring about an RCE Attack Chain on Quick Share
SafeBreach Labs researchers discovered ten vulnerabilities in Google's Quick Share data transfer utility for Windows, some of which they combined into a remote code execution (RCE) attack chain. Quick Share, developed by Google and Samsung, facilitates peer-to-peer file transfers across Android, Windows, and Chrome OS using various communication protocols. The research revealed vulnerabilities including unauthorized file writes and forced Wi-Fi connections, leading to an innovative RCE attack chain. Google addressed all identified vulnerabilities, issuing two CVEs (CVE-2024-38271 and CVE-2024-38272) for the most critical ones. The findings underscore the importance of considering seemingly minor vulnerabilities as potential security risks and highlight the need for a comprehensive approach to software security. The research was shared with the security community to help organizations protect against such vulnerabilities.
