In Setup Wizard, there is a possible way to force connection to a malicious network due to confused deputy. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
AnalysisAI
Local privilege escalation in Android's Setup Wizard allows a low-privileged attacker to force the device to connect to a malicious network by exploiting a confused deputy relationship (CWE-441), achieving full C:H/I:H/A:H compromise without any user interaction. The flaw is addressed in the September 2026 Android Security Bulletin (patch level 2026-09-01) and requires only an existing low-privilege foothold on the device. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a low-privilege account or application already executing on the target Android device (PR:L, AV:L) - fully remote exploitation is excluded by the local attack vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.8 score with AC:L and PR:L reflects a straightforward local exploitation path - once a low-privileged foothold exists on the device, the confused deputy attack requires no special timing, race conditions, or additional privileges. … 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 Android security patch level 2026-09-01 or later 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. |
