## What is CVE-2025-5346?

CVE-2025-5346 is a medium-severity path traversal vulnerability in kr.co.bluebird.android.bbsettings, published on 17 Jul 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Bluebird devices contain a pre-loaded barcode scanner application. This application exposes an unsecured broadcast receiver "kr.co.bluebird.android.bbsettings.BootReceiver". A local attacker can call the receiver to overwrite file containing ".json" keyword with default barcode config file. It is possible to overwrite file in any location due to lack of protection against path traversal in name of the file.

This issue affects all versions before 1.3.3.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
