CVE-2018-14989
The Plum Compass Android device with a build fingerprint of PLUM/c179_hwf_221/c179_hwf_221:6.0/MRA58K/W16.51.5-22:user/release-keys contains a pre-installed platform app with a package name of com.android.settings (versionCode=23, versionName=6.0-eng.root.20161223.224055) that contains an exported broadcast receiver app component which allows any app co-located on the device to programmatically perform a factory reset. In addition, the app initiating the factory reset does not require any permissions. A factory reset will remove all user data and apps from the device.

This will result in the loss of any data that have not been backed up or synced externally. The capability to perform a factory reset is not directly available to third-party apps (those that the user installs themselves with the exception of enabled Mobile Device Management (MDM) apps), although this capability can be obtained by leveraging an unprotected app component of a pre-installed platform app.

Además, la aplicación que inicia el restablecimiento de fábrica no requiere ningún permiso. Un restablecimiento de mecanismo suprimirá todos los datos de usuario y aplicaciones del dispositivo. Esto conllevará a la pérdida de cualquier dato que no se presentaa sido respaldado o sincronizado externamente. La capacidad para realizar un restablecimiento de el mecanismo no está disponible directamente para aplicaciones de terceros (aquellas que el usuario instala solo con la excepción de las aplicaciones de Mobile Device Management (MDM) habilitadas), aunque esta capacidad se puede conseguir al explotar un componente de aplicación no protegido de Una aplicación de plataforma preinstalada."
