Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The ArtIME Japanese Input application 1.1.2 and earlier for Android uses weak permissions for unspecified files, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via an application that accesses the local filesystem.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

The ArtIME Japanese Input application 1.1.2 and earlier for Android implements insufficiently restrictive file permissions on unspecified application files, allowing a malicious local application to read sensitive data from the filesystem without proper authorization.

MitigationReview and harden file permissions on all application data files, ensuring access is restricted to the owning application only; consider implementing Android's protected storage mechanisms and encrypted storage for sensitive user data.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify ArtIME Japanese Input is installed
    On the Android device, go to Settings > Apps > All Apps and search for 'ArtIME Japanese Input' or 'Artime Japanese Input', or use ADB command: pm list packages | grep -i artime
    Affected if The package 'com.codedesign.artimejapaneseinput' or similar ArtIME package is found installed on the device
  2. Check installed application version
    In Settings > Apps > All Apps > ArtIME Japanese Input, look at the 'Version' or 'Version info' field; or use ADB command: dumpsys package <package_name> | grep versionName
    Affected if The displayed version number is 1.1.2 or lower, or the version cannot be determined but the app is present
  3. Confirm vulnerability applicability
    Review that the app handles sensitive user data such as dictionary files, user preferences, or saved input data
    Affected if The app stores any user-specific or sensitive data on the device filesystem, which could be accessed due to improper file permissions

The device is affected if ArtIME Japanese Input version 1.1.2 or earlier is installed and the app stores sensitive data with overly permissive file access rights.
