What is CVE-2020-7705?
CVE-2020-7705 is a high-severity vulnerability in MintegralAdSDK, published on 24 Aug 2020. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
This affects the package MintegralAdSDK from 0.0.0. The SDK distributed by the company contains malicious functionality that tracks any URL opened by the app and reports it back to the company, along with performing advertisement attribution fraud. Mintegral can remotely activate hooks on the UIApplication, openURL, SKStoreProductViewController, loadProductWithParameters and NSURLProtocol methods along with anti-debug and proxy detection protection. If those hooks are active MintegralAdSDK sends obfuscated data about every opened URL in an application to their servers. Note that the malicious functionality is enabled even if the SDK was not enabled to serve ads.
