Sosceo Ad Library for Android contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered by the com.sosceo.android.ads.AdView object querying the device's contact information for the most recent call and then storing it in data objects which are used as URL queries when requesting ads, which will disclose the phone number of the most recent call to a remote attacker.
