CVE-2025-0590
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 · uneditedImproper permission settings for mobile applications (com.transsion.carlcare) may lead to information leakage risk.
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 confidenceThe com.transsion.carlcare mobile application has improper permission settings that may allow unauthorized access to sensitive information. This appears to be a permission misconfiguration vulnerability where the app either requests excessive permissions or fails to properly restrict access to protected data, potentially exposing user or system information to other applications or malicious actors.

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.
-
Check if Carlcare app is installedRun 'adb shell pm list packages | grep carlcare' or 'adb shell pm list packages | grep transsion' to see if the com.transsion.carlcare package exists on the deviceAffected if The package com.transsion.carlcare is not found - the app is not installed and this CVE does not apply
-
List all permissions requested by the appRun 'adb shell pm dump com.transsion.carlcare | grep -A 100 permissions' to view the complete permission list the app declares in its manifestAffected if The output shows permission tags - compare these against the app's legitimate functionality to identify excessive or unnecessary permissions
-
Identify dangerous permissions in the manifestRun 'adb shell pm dump com.transsion.carlcare | grep -E "dangerous|privileged"' to isolate high-risk permissions such as READ_CONTACTS, READ_SMS, CAMERA, LOCATION, or storage accessAffected if Dangerous permissions are present that are not required for the app's core customer service functionality
-
Check if sensitive data is accessible without runtime permission checksReview the app's behavior by attempting to access protected data (contacts, messages, files) through the app's exported components using 'adb shell dumpsys package com.transsion.carlcare' to check if components have proper access controlsAffected if Exported activities, services, or receivers can be invoked without proper permission checks, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive information
You are affected if the com.transsion.carlcare app is installed and possesses dangerous or excessive permissions beyond what its legitimate customer service functions require, or if its exported components allow unauthorized access to protected user data.

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.
From vendor dataReview and correct the application's permission manifest to implement least-privilege principles, removing unnecessary permissions and ensuring sensitive data access is properly restricted with appropriate runtime permission checks.
