{"cve":"CVE-2021-43849","nvd":{"published":"2021-12-23T17:15:07.373","modified":"2026-06-17T04:11:34.027","status":"Modified","description":"cordova-plugin-fingerprint-aio is a plugin provides a single and simple interface for accessing fingerprint APIs on both Android 6+ and iOS. In versions prior to 5.0.1 The exported activity `de.niklasmerz.cordova.biometric.BiometricActivity` can cause the app to crash. This vulnerability occurred because the activity didn't handle the case where it is requested with invalid or empty data which results in a crash. Any third party app can constantly call this activity with no permission. A 3rd party app/attacker using event listener can continually stop the app from working and make the victim unable to open it. Version 5.0.1 of the cordova-plugin-fingerprint-aio doesn't export the activity anymore and is no longer vulnerable. If you want to fix older versions change the attribute android:exported in plugin.xml to false. Please upgrade to version 5.0.1 as soon as possible.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-617"],"references":["https://github.com/NiklasMerz/cordova-plugin-fingerprint-aio/commit/27434a240f97f69fd930088654590c8ba43569df","https://github.com/NiklasMerz/cordova-plugin-fingerprint-aio/releases/tag/v5.0.1","https://github.com/NiklasMerz/cordova-plugin-fingerprint-aio/security/advisories/GHSA-7vfx-hfvm-rhr8","https://github.com/NiklasMerz/cordova-plugin-fingerprint-aio/commit/27434a240f97f69fd930088654590c8ba43569df","https://github.com/NiklasMerz/cordova-plugin-fingerprint-aio/releases/tag/v5.0.1"],"products":["cordova_plugin_fingerprint_all-in-one_project:cordova_plugin_fingerprint_all-in-one"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:26:33.761856376+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2021-43849","score":0.00344,"percentile":0.27969,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-7vfx-hfvm-rhr8","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-7vfx-hfvm-rhr8","summary":"cordova-plugin-fingerprint-aio DoS vulnerability","modified":"2026-07-08T06:29:13.891000136Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"cordova-plugin-fingerprint-aio","purl":"pkg:npm/cordova-plugin-fingerprint-aio","ranges":["<5.0.1"],"fixed":["5.0.1"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
