MobSF is vulnerable to an issue with apktool (CVE-2024-21633) that allows for RCE or arbitrary file writing. It does this through a path traversal vulnerability. This template tests for it by writing to a local file and reading that file. RCE can be achieved by overwriting jadx, as shown in the two POCs listed as references. The payload for this template exists inside the binary format of an APK, which is a zip file. This means that a hardcoded random hex string is checked for, rather than a standard dynamic random string.
