A vulnerability was identified in PhonePe App 25.03.21.0 on Android. This affects an unknown function of the file /data/data/com.phonepe.app/databases/ of the component SQLite Database. The manipulation leads to cleartext storage in a file or on disk. The attack needs to be performed locally. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The actual existence of this vulnerability is currently in question. The root-requirement of the attack is reflected by the CVSS vector attribute PR:H.
