MetricsAV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions 7.0 through 9
Description The issue allows an application with overlay permission to display overlays on top of settings UI, potentially leading to local escalation of privilege without requiring additional execution privileges. User interaction is necessary for exploitation.
Recommendations For Android versions 7.0 through 9, consider restricting or disabling the overlay permission for untrusted applications until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid granting overlay permissions to applications that do not require them.
