Episode description

What scared me about this bug is how EASY it is to execute, no MITM, no special software.. its all exploiting of existing software.. Let us discuss   The SSDP engine in Firefox for Android (68.11.0 and below) can be tricked into triggering Android intent URIs with zero user interaction.  This attack can be leveraged by attackers on the same WiFi network and manifests as applications on the target device suddenly launching, without the users' permission, and conducting activities allowed by the intent.   Resources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Service_Discovery_Protocol https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-security/security-operations/gl-redteam/red-team-tech-notes/-/tree/master/firefox-android-2020 https://twitter.com/init_string  https://twitter.com/LukasStefanko/status/1307013106615418883
