Patch Update for Fortnite for Android Installed This vulnerability allows an app on the device to hijack the Fortnite Installer to instead install a fake APK with any permissions that would normally require user disclosure." "If the fake APK has a targetSdkVersion of 22 or lower, it will be granted all permissions it requests at install-time. Consequently, the fake APK with a matching package name can be silently installed," Google researcher said. This API checks that the APK being installed has the package name. "On Samsung devices, the Fortnite Installer performs the APK install silently via a private Galaxy Apps API. Google developers discovered that any app on your phone with the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission could intercept the installation and replace installation file with another malicious APK, including one with full permissions granted like access to your SMS, call history, GPS, or even camera-all without your knowledge.
In a nutshell, man-in-the-disk attacks allow malicious apps to manipulate the data of other apps held in the unprotected external storage before they read it, resulting in the installation of undesired apps instead of the legitimate update.įor those unaware, to install Fortnite on your Android phone, you first need to install a "helper" app (installer) that downloads Fortnite to your phone's storage and installs it on your phone. Therefore, explore all the locations, obtaining valuable items, powerful weapons, and resources for construction because the presence of all this increases your chances of victory.In a proof-of-concept video published by Google, researchers demonstrated that their attack takes advantage of a newly introduced " man-in-the-disk" (MitD) vector (detailed in our previous article). The main thing to remember is that the map has the property to gradually narrow by the danger zone, in which you will die during an extended stay. As soon as you are in the right place, try to find weapons and protection because very nearby may be enemies that will not let you survive. After that, everyone can choose the drop-off point from which to start the action. Initially, you will find yourself in a lobby, from which all the players go straight to the battlefield by flying bus. The Fortnite game includes a single-player mode and a team mode, where, respectively, the winner will be one player or one team. A huge, colorful, but at the same time quite dangerous world is revealed to you, where about a hundred enemies are fighting, and only one can win. You will find yourself on the expanse of the famous “Battle Royale” and try to survive in quite tricky conditions. Fortnite is a game project developed in the shooter genre, which will take place in third-person view.
