DescriptionCVE.org

In Bootloader, there is a possible escalation of privilege due to a missing permission check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

AnalysisAI

Local privilege escalation in the Android bootloader lets a caller that already holds System execution privileges bypass a missing permission check and reach higher-privileged bootloader operations on affected Android devices. The CVSS vector (AV:L/PR:H/UI:N) makes clear this is a second-stage escalation that requires both local access and an existing high-privileged foothold, not a remote or unprivileged-app vector, and it needs no user interaction. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to already possess Android System execution privileges (PR:H) and local access to the device (AV:L); it targets a bootloader operation that is missing a required permission check (CWE-862). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine-but-modest local privilege escalation, not a high-priority emergency. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Install the September 2026 Android/Pixel security update (patch level 2026-09-01) from https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/pixel/2026/2026-09-01; that bulletin is the vendor-released fix and is the only remediation credited in the provided references, and no standalone fix version number is given in the input data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
