Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Android version Android-11
Description
The issue is related to a missing permission check in the
createInputConsumer function of WindowManagerService.java. This could allow an attacker to block and intercept input events, potentially leading to local escalation of privilege without needing additional execution privileges. User interaction is required for exploitation.Recommendations
For Android version Android-11, consider restricting access to the
createInputConsumer function of WindowManagerService.java until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the affected function to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
