CVE-2022-3611
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 · uneditedAn information disclosure vulnerability has been identified in the Lenovo App Store which may allow some applications to gain unauthorized access to sensitive user data used by other unrelated applications.
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 confidenceAn information disclosure vulnerability in the Lenovo App Store allows applications to gain unauthorized access to sensitive user data belonging to other unrelated applications. This appears to be a failure in application sandboxing or permission controls within the Lenovo App Store's ecosystem, potentially exposing cross-application 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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Lenovo App Store is installedCheck for the Lenovo App Store application on the system. On Windows, look in Program Files or the Start Menu for 'Lenovo App Store' or 'Lenovo Vantage' which may include the app store component. On Android devices, check the application list for 'Lenovo App Store'.Affected if The application is present on the system
-
Determine the installed version of Lenovo App StoreAccess the application's 'About' or 'Settings' section within the Lenovo App Store interface. On Windows, you can also right-click the application in Programs and Features to view the version. On Android, go to Settings > Apps > Lenovo App Store to see version information.Affected if The version cannot be determined or is below 11.8.0
-
Compare installed version to affected rangeCompare the identified version number to the affected range: versions prior to 11.8.0 are vulnerable. Note that version 11.8.0 itself and later versions include the fix.Affected if The installed version is lower than 11.8.0
-
Verify the application has been launched or configuredCheck if the Lenovo App Store has been run at least once or is set to run at startup. Review the application's runtime status in system processes or task manager.Affected if The application has been executed with default sandboxing/permission configuration
If Lenovo App Store is installed with a version lower than 11.8.0 and has been used, the sandboxing vulnerability allowing cross-application data access is present in the environment.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped11.8.0
Implement proper application sandboxing and strict access controls in the Lenovo App Store to prevent apps from accessing data belonging to other applications. Update permission model to enforce proper data isolation between unrelated applications.
11.8.0 or later
- Open the Lenovo App Store application on your device
- Navigate to the Settings or About section within the app
- Check the current installed version (ensure it is < 11.8.0)
- Look for an Update or Check for Updates option within the app
- Update to version 11.8.0 or later if an update is available
- Alternatively, use the Lenovo Vantage or System Update utility to check for and apply system updates that include the patched App Store version
