Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Android versions prior to the fixed version
Description
The issue is related to a missing permission check in the
onReceive method of AlertReceiver.java. This could allow for the dismissal of system dialogs, potentially leading to local escalation of privilege without requiring additional execution privileges. User interaction is not necessary for exploitation.Recommendations
For Android versions prior to the fixed version, consider restricting access to the
AlertReceiver.java module to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
