Android Framework Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

A local attacker, with a low-privilege account, can achieve full data confidentiality loss, arbitrary modification of data, complete denial of service or system unavailability. Federal agencies are required to remediate by 2025-12-23 under CISA BOD 22-01.

This is a Missing Authentication for Critical Function (CWE-306) vulnerability in Android Framework. In multiple locations, there is a possible way to launch activities from the background due to a permissions bypass. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Exploitation requires local access, low attack complexity, a low-privilege authenticated account, and no user interaction required.

Probably yes if any of these apply:

CISA added this CVE to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2025-12-02 based on evidence of active exploitation in the wild. Federal agencies required to remediate by 2025-12-23.
