### Impact In all the versions of NuProcess where it forks processes by using the JVM's Java_java_lang_UNIXProcess_forkAndExec method (1.2.0+), attackers can use NUL characters in their strings to perform command line injection. Java's ProcessBuilder isn't vulnerable because of a check in ProcessBuilder.start. NuProcess is missing that check. This vulnerability can only be exploited to inject command line arguments on Linux. - On macOS, any argument with a NUL character is truncated at that character. This means the malicious arguments are never seen by the started process. - On Windows, the entire command line is truncated at the first NUL character. This means the malicious arguments, and any intentional arguments provided after them, are never seen by the started process. ### Patches 2.0.5 ### Workarounds Users of the library can sanitize command strings to remove NUL characters prior to passing them to NuProcess for execution. ### References None.

We found several instances of apps that carry sensitive information stating they would share certain information with third-party advertisers and even law enforcement agencies, if necessary. One of the most popular period-tracking apps on the Google Play store, Period Calendar Period Tracker, has a privacy policy that states it will "share information with law enforcement agencies, public authorities, or other organizations if We’re [sic] required by law to do so or if such use is reasonably necessary. We will carefully review all such requests to ensure that they have a legitimate basis and are limited to data that law enforcement is authorized to access for specific investigative purposes only." A report from the Washington Post also released last week found that this app, as well...
