CVE-2024-35205 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The WPS Office (aka cn.wps.moffice_eng) application before 17.0.0 for Android fails to properly sanitize file names before processing them through external application interactions, leading to a form of path traversal. This potentially enables any application to dispatch a crafted library file, aiming to overwrite an existing native library utilized by WPS Office. EPSS estimates a 0.75% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
