What is CVE-2020-4100?
CVE-2020-4100 is a medium-severity code injection vulnerability in "HCL Verse for Android", published on 15 Jul 2020. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
"HCL Verse for Android was found to employ dynamic code loading. This mechanism allows a developer to specify which components of the application should not be loaded by default when the application is started. Typically, core components and additional dependencies are loaded natively at runtime; however, dynamically loaded components are only loaded as they are specifically requested. While this can have a positive impact on performance, or grant additional functionality (for example, a non-invasive update feature), it can also open the application to loading unintended code if not implemented properly."
