> Helix Player for Symbian OS v1.0 - Vulnerable?
I've got this loaded on my 3650 and it seems that when I'm sent an sms containing a real video URL this program autoloads the URL. On mine I've setup Helix Player so that it knows where the Internet is, how fast it is, and which if any proxies to use, which is why it can autoload instead of having to ask the user anything.
Since it doesn't need to ask, and since there is a vulnerability out against Helix Player, it seems to me that you could get malicious software loaded onto your phone this way. Furthermore if the target has correctly configured their Helix Player to "just work" then they won't even need to click OK to get the virus loaded into their device. Obviously for programs to be installed in the traditional sense would require the user to OK, but I think this could be a vector to copy files onto a device and then run them without the owner's consent.
