Summary
The QQ application 8.7.1 for Android and iOS does not enforce the permission requirements (e.g., android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) for determining the device's physical location. An attacker can use qq.createMapContext to create a MapContext object, use MapContext.moveToLocation to move the center of the map to the device's location, and use MapContext.getCenterLocation to get the latitude and longitude of the current map center.
Exploit prediction
1.37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 72% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
