TCP data packet 9 on port 4244 from the victim's device contains cleartext information such as the device model and OS version, IMSI, and 20 bytes of udid in a binary format, which is located at offset 0x14 of this packet. Then, the attacker installs Viber on his device, initiates the registration process for any phone number, but doesn't enter a pin from SMS. Instead, he closes Viber. Next, the attacker rewrites his udid with the victim's udid, modifying the viber_udid file, which is located in the Viber preferences folder. (The udid is stored in a hexadecimal format.) Finally, the attacker starts Viber again and enters the pin from SMS.","publishedAt":"2019-11-06T15:34:07.000Z","updatedAt":"2024-08-05T02:02:39.783Z","severity":null,"assigner":"mitre","products":["n/a n/a"],"affected":[{"vendor":"n/a","product":"n/a","versions":[{"version":"n/a","status":"affected"}]}],"references":["https://thesamarkand.tumblr.com/post/188785277609/viber-messenger-remote-account-reset-0day"],"weaknesses":[],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T19:45:41.458Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2019/18xxx/CVE-2019-18800.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.1","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2019-18800","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2019-11-06T15:34:07.000Z","dateUpdated":"2024-08-05T02:02:39.783Z","assignerShortName":"mitre","assignerOrgId":"8254265b-2729-46b6-b9e3-3dfca2d5bfca","dateReserved":"2019-11-06T00:00:00.000Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"Viber through 11.7.0.5 allows a remote attacker who can capture a victim's internet traffic to steal their Viber account, because not all Viber protocol traffic is encrypted.
