CVE-2026-44964
Datadog Android Application Improper Activity Export Vulnerability
Description
In versions of the Datadog Android application prior to v545-5.9.2, OnCallNotificationActivity is declared exported with no permission guard. A co-installed application can launch it with attacker-controlled Intent extras, including a full-screen lock-screen message, an arbitrary on-call page ID, and an arbitrary Intent to run inside the Datadog process. This requires: A malicious application co-installed on the victim's device. An active Datadog session in the Android app. Impact: After a single tap on the Acknowledge button, the app sends a forged on-call acknowledgement to the backend under the victim's session, launches the attacker-supplied Intent from within the Datadog process (reaching otherwise non-exported components), and turns on the screen while dismissing the keyguard.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: Android App de Datadog, Description: En versiones de la aplicación de Android de Datadog anteriores a la v545-5.9.2, OnCallNotificationActivity se declara exportada sin una protección de permisos. Una aplicación co-instalada puede lanzarla con extras de Intent controlados por el atacante, incluyendo un mensaje de pantalla completa en la pantalla de bloqueo, un ID de página de guardia arbitrario y un Intent arbitrario para ejecutar dentro del proceso de Datadog. Esto requiere: Una aplicación maliciosa co-instalada en el dispositivo de la víctima. Una sesión de Datadog activa en la aplicación de Android. Impacto: Después de un solo toque en el botón Acknowledge, la aplicación envía un reconocimiento de guardia falsificado al backend bajo la sesión de la víctima, lanza el Intent proporcionado por el atacante desde dentro del proceso de Datadog (alcanzando componentes que de otro modo no serían exportados) y enciende la pantalla mientras descarta el keyguard. -

Action Type Old Value New Value Changed Description The OnCallNotificationActivity in the Datadog Android application is declared android:exported="true" in AndroidManifest.xml with no permission guard. Any co-installed application on the same device can launch it with attacker-controlled Intent extras: on_call_page_content (rendered as full-screen lock-screen text), page_id (used to enqueue an on-call Acknowledge worker), and on_call_page_intent, a Parcelable Intent that is passed through to startActivity from inside the Datadog process after a single user tap on the Acknowledge button. The activity enables lock-screen display (setShowWhenLocked) and wakes the device (setTurnScreenOn) on launch. After one user tap, three effects follow: (1) a forged Acknowledge request is sent to the Datadog backend for the attacker-chosen page_id using the victim's authenticated session; (2) the attacker-controlled Intent is launched from the Datadog process via startActivity, providing reach into non-exported components of com.datadog.app (confused-deputy pattern); (3) the keyguard is dismissed and the screen turned on, usable as a social-engineering or annoyance vector. Preconditions: a malicious application co-installed on the victim device and an active Datadog session in the Android app. In versions of the Datadog Android application prior to v545-5.9.2, OnCallNotificationActivity is declared exported with no permission guard.
