Summary
cordova-plugin-fingerprint-aio is a plugin provides a single and simple interface for accessing fingerprint APIs on both Android 6+ and iOS. In versions prior to 5.0.1 The exported activity `de.niklasmerz.cordova.biometric.BiometricActivity` can cause the app to crash. This vulnerability occurred because the activity didn't handle the case where it is requested with invalid or empty data which results in a crash. Any third party app can constantly call this activity with no permission. A 3rd party app/attacker using event listener can continually stop the app from working and make the victim unable to open it. Version 5.0.1 of the cordova-plugin-fingerprint-aio doesn't export the activity anymore and is no longer vulnerable. If you want to fix older versions change the attribute android:exported in plugin.xml to false. Please upgrade to version 5.0.1 as soon as possible.

En versiones anteriores a 5.0.1 la actividad exportada \"de.niklasmerz.cordova.biometric.BiometricActivity\" puede causar un bloqueo de la aplicaci\u00f3n. Esta vulnerabilidad es producida porque la actividad no maneja el caso de que es solicitado con datos no v\u00e1lidos o vac\u00edos, lo que resulta en un bloqueo. Cualquier aplicaci\u00f3n de terceros puede llamar constantemente a esta actividad sin permiso. Una aplicaci\u00f3n de terceros/atacante usando un escuchador de eventos puede detener continuamente el funcionamiento de la aplicaci\u00f3n y hacer que la v\u00edctima no pueda abrirla. La versi\u00f3n 5.0.1 del cordova-plugin-fingerprint-aio ya no exporta la actividad y ya no es vulnerable. Si quieres arreglar versiones anteriores cambia el atributo android:exported en el plugin.xml a false. Actualiza a versi\u00f3n 5.0.1 lo antes posible"
