DescriptionCVE.org

In multiple locations, there is a possible use after free due to a race condition. This could lead to remote code execution with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution across Android versions 14 through 17 is possible via a use-after-free condition triggered by a race condition in multiple OS locations. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N) places this as a network-reachable, low-privilege attack requiring no user interaction but demanding precise timing due to the race condition mechanics, with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on successful exploitation. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network reachability and low-privilege access on the target Android device (CVSS PR:L), consistent with a malicious application running in the normal Android app sandbox or access to a network-exposed system service. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS base score of 7.5 (High) reflects a genuine but non-trivial exploitation challenge: AC:H captures the race condition timing precision required to reliably trigger the use-after-free, while C:H/I:H/A:H confirms that successful exploitation yields full RCE impact. … 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 Apply the September 2026 Android Security Patch Level (2026-09-01) as detailed in the Android Security Bulletin at https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/2026/2026-09-01. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
