PatchSiren cyber security CVE debrief
CVE-2026-116072 Docile-Alligator CVE debrief
The Infinity for Reddit app through version 8.3.4 contains a login cross-site request forgery vulnerability. This vulnerability allows attackers to log victims into an attacker-controlled account due to a hardcoded OAuth state value in the LoginChromeCustomTabActivity redirect handler. To exploit this, an attacker would authorize the app's client ID with their own Reddit account, then deliver a specially crafted redirect containing their code and the constant state. This would cause the victim's posts, messages, and browsing to occur on the attacker's account.
