# CVE-2024-54461: Unsanitized Filenames in Flutter package file\_selector\_android Allow File Overwrites

- Severity: CVSS 2.1 (Low), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:H/AT:N/PR:L/UI:A/VC:N/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:H/SA:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2025-01-29 · Updated: 2025-02-12

## Affected

- Flutter file\_selector\_android: from 0.5.1, through 0.5.1+11

## Description

The file names constructed within file_selector are missing sanitization checks leaving them vulnerable to malicious document providers. This may result in cases where a user with a malicious document provider installed can select a document file from that provider while using your app and could potentially override internal files in your app cache. Issue patched in 0.5.1+12. It is recommended to update to the latest version of file_selector_android that contains the changes to address this vulnerability.
