The pre-installed Contacts application is vulnerable to HTML and JavaScript injection attacks. An attacker can send a vCard file to the victim that will inject HTML into the Contacts application (assuming the victim chooses to import the file). At a bare minimum, this allows an attacker to take control over the Contacts application's UI (e.g., display a malicious prompt to the user asking them to re-enter credentials such as their KaiOS credentials to continue using the application) 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":"2026-11-09","score":0.00835,"percentile":0.57941,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":false,"fix_available":false},"cwes":["CWE-79"],"published":"2020-09-14T19:07:13Z","modified":"2026-06-17T02:18:57Z","products":[{"vendor":"kaiostech","product":"kaios"}],"references":[{"url":"https://www.nccgroup.trust/us/our-research/","tags":["x_refsource_MISC","x_transferred","Third Party Advisory"]},{"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","Third Party Advisory"]},{"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-14757"},{"url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-6gvc-rc8p-3485"}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2019-14757","description":"An issue was discovered in KaiOS 2.5 and 2.5.1.
