DescriptionCVE.org

In multiple locations, there is a possible unauthorized URI access due to a permissions bypass. 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 16 through 17 exploits incorrect authorization (CWE-863) across multiple URI access control locations, allowing a low-privileged process to bypass permissions checks and achieve full read/write/execute access on the device without requiring user interaction. Reported by security@android.com and addressed in the September 2026 Android Security Bulletin, the flaw affects Android 16, Android 16-QPR2, and Android 17. …
