The device contains a pre-installed platform app with a package name of
com.android.settings that has an exported broadcast receiver. This allows any app on the device to initiate a factory reset programmatically without requiring any permissions. A factory reset will remove all user data and apps, resulting in data loss if not backed up or synced externally.Recommendations
For the Leagoo Z5C Android device, consider disabling the
com.android.settings app or restricting its functionality to prevent unauthorized factory resets until a patch is available. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
