The pre-installed Email application is vulnerable to HTML and JavaScript injection attacks. An attacker can send a specially crafted email to the victim that will inject HTML into the email application's UI as soon as the email is opened. At a bare minimum, this allows an attacker to take control over the Email application's UI (e.g., display a malicious prompt to the user asking them to re-enter their email credentials) and also allows an attacker to abuse any of the privileges available to the mobile application.","severity":{"version":"3.1","score":6.1,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","level":"medium","assessor":"primary","from":"nvd"},"epss":{"day":"2026-11-08","score":0.00798,"percentile":0.56778,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":false,"fix_available":false},"cwes":["CWE-79"],"published":"2020-09-14T18:32:49Z","modified":"2026-06-17T02:18:57Z","products":[{"vendor":"kaiostech","product":"kaios"}],"references":[{"url":"https://research.nccgroup.com/2020/08/21/technical-advisory-multiple-html-injection-vulnerabilities-in-kaios-pre-installed-mobile-applications/","tags":["x_refsource_MISC","x_transferred","Exploit","Third Party Advisory"]},{"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-14756"},{"url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-2qfq-4hw9-7rpg"}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2019-14756","description":"An issue was discovered in KaiOS 1.0, 2.5, and 2.5.12.5.
