# CVE-2024-54462: Unsanitized Filenames in Flutter package image\_picker\_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 image\_picker\_android: from 0.8.5+6, through 0.8.12+17

## Description

The file names constructed within image_picker 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 an image file from that provider while using your app and could potentially override internal files in your app cache. Issue patched in 0.8.12+18. It is recommended to update to the latest version of image_picker_android that contains the changes to address this vulnerability.
