The ESRI ArcGis Runtime SDK before 10.2.6-2 for Android might allow attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging a finalize method in a Serializable class that improperly passes an attacker-controlled pointer to a native function.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2015-2002 affects Android apps built with older Esri ArcGIS Runtime SDK versions. A flaw in Serializable finalization could let attacker-controlled data reach native code as a pointer, potentially causing arbitrary code execution. Business risk depends on whether deployed Android apps embed SDK versions before 10.2.6-2.

Executive priority

Prioritize if the organization distributes or relies on Android apps using Esri ArcGIS Runtime SDK. The potential impact is serious, but urgency should be based on confirmed dependency presence because active exploitation is not evidenced.

Technical view

The issue is reported in Esri ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android before 10.2.6-2. A Serializable class finalize method improperly passes an attacker-controlled pointer to a native function, creating possible arbitrary code execution in affected Android application contexts.

Likely exposure

Exposure is likely limited to Android applications that bundle Esri ArcGIS Runtime SDK before 10.2.6-2. The provided CVE metadata does not identify broader products, CPEs, or platform exposure beyond that SDK.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not show active exploitation, and KEV status is false. Public references indicate vulnerability research exists, but exploitation in the wild is not evidenced here. Practical risk depends on reachable app flows using the vulnerable SDK behavior.

Researcher notes

The CVE record is sparse: no CVSS, CWE, CPE, or detailed affected matrix is provided. Analysis should focus on confirming SDK version, Android app reachability, and vendor guidance. Avoid assuming exploit availability or affected products beyond the named SDK.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android to 10.2.6-2 or later where applicable.
  • Inventory Android apps for bundled Esri ArcGIS Runtime SDK versions before 10.2.6-2.
  • Check Esri or vendor-maintainer guidance before choosing compensating controls.
  • Retire or isolate unsupported apps that cannot update the affected SDK.

Validation and detection

  • Review Android build files and dependency manifests for ArcGIS Runtime SDK versions.
  • Inspect packaged Android artifacts where source dependency data is unavailable.
  • Confirm rebuilt apps no longer include SDK versions before 10.2.6-2.
  • Check mobile telemetry for unusual native crashes in affected applications.
