CVE-2022-29580: Google Search

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

There exists a path traversal vulnerability in the Android Google Search app. This is caused by the incorrect usage of uri.getLastPathSegment. A symbolic encoded string can bypass the path logic to get access to unintended directories. An attacker can manipulate paths that could lead to code execution on the device. We recommend upgrading beyond version 13.41

Affected products

• Google Google Search: before 13.41 (fixed in 13.41)
