### Summary

The `mobile_open_url` tool in mobile-mcp passes user-supplied URLs directly to Android's intent system without any scheme validation, allowing execution of arbitrary Android intents, including USSD codes, phone calls, SMS messages, and content provider access.

### Details

The vulnerable code passes URLs directly to `adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d <url>` without checking the URL scheme. This can enable malicious schemes such as `tel:`, `sms:`, `mailto:`, `content://`, and `market://` to be executed.

Since MCP servers are designed to be operated by AI agents, which are vulnerable to prompt injection attacks, a malicious document or website could inject instructions that cause the AI to execute dangerous intents on a connected mobile device.

### Impact

An attacker via prompt injection can: - Execute USSD codes (e.g., `tel:*#06#` to display IMEI - confirmed on Pixel 7a, behavior varies by device; or device-specific factory reset codes) - Initiate phone calls to premium rate numbers - Draft SMS messages with attacker-controlled content - Access content providers (contacts, SMS, call logs) - Open app installation prompts

### Proof of Concept ```json {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"mobile_open_url","arguments":{"device":"<id>","url":"tel:*#06#"}}} ```

Result: IMEI displayed on device. ```json {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"mobile_open_url","arguments":{"device":"<id>","url":"sms:1234567890?body=HACKED"}}} ```

Result: SMS app opens with a pre-filled message.

### Remediation

Upgrade to version 0.0.50 or later, which restricts `mobile_open_url` to `http://` and `https://` schemes by default. Users who require other URL schemes can opt in by setting `MOBILEMCP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_URLS=1`.
