CVE-2026-48745 Details
Description
Traccar Client is a GPS tracking mobile app for sending location updates to private servers using the open-source Traccar platform. In versions 9.7.19 and below, a single crafted deep link can silently hijack all GPS tracking parameters and redirect telemetry to an attacker-controlled server. The app registers a custom org.traccar.client://config deep-link scheme that silently writes attacker-supplied parameters (server URL, device ID, accuracy, distance, and interval) into the app's persistent configuration with no confirmation, notification, or visual indication. A single crafted link delivered via SMS, email, a webpage, or any installed app can therefore reconfigure the app the moment the victim taps it, with no special permissions required. As a result, an attacker can covertly redirect all of the victim's GPS telemetry to their own server at maximum precision and frequency, and the change persists across restarts. This gives the attacker continuous, real-time tracking of the victim's location. This issue has been fixed in version 9.7.20.
A vulnerability in Traccar Client versions through 9.7.19 allows a crafted deep link to silently take over GPS tracking settings and redirect location data to an attacker-controlled server. The app's deep-link scheme, org.traccar.client://config, can be used to inject parameters such as the server URL, device ID, accuracy, distance, and update interval. This reconfiguration happens without any user confirmation or notification. Once the link is activated, all GPS telemetry is sent to the attacker's server with maximum precision and frequency, enabling real-time tracking of the victim's location. The change persists even after the app is closed and reopened.
Users are advised to update to Traccar Client version 9.7.20, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
