In multiple functions of LocalImageResolver.java, there is a possible Remote Persistent Denial of Service due to a DNG image rendering check bypass. This could lead to remote escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
AnalysisAI
LocalImageResolver.java in Android 14 through 17 (including QPR2 releases) contains a DNG image rendering authorization check bypass (CWE-863) that enables remote privilege escalation with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The flaw requires only low-level privileges and no user interaction, expanding the attack surface beyond typical media-processing vulnerabilities that normally depend on explicit user file-opening. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold low-privilege access on the target Android device (PR:L per the CVSS vector) - a completely unauthenticated external attacker cannot trigger the flaw directly. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 8.8 score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) indicates a high-severity, network-reachable flaw with low-complexity exploitation and full CIA impact, which on its face warrants urgent patching. … 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 security patches distributed through the September 2026 Android Security Bulletin (https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/2026/2026-09-01). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
