DescriptionCVE.org

In checkReadPermission of PermissionsManager.java, there is a possible way to monitor sensitive device state data due to a missing permission check. This could lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

AnalysisAI

Local information disclosure in Android Wear (Wear OS) versions 14, 16, and 17 lets a co-resident application read sensitive device state data because checkReadPermission in PermissionsManager.java fails to enforce a required permission. No additional execution privileges or user interaction are needed, so any installed app can silently monitor protected state. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires the attacker to already have code executing locally on the Wear OS device (an installed/co-resident application); exploitation then needs no granted permission, no elevated privileges, and no user interaction. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals conflict sharply. … 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 Patch available per vendor advisory: update affected Wear OS devices to the September 2026 Wear security patch level (2026-09-01) or later as delivered through the OEM/Google update channel; see https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/wear/2026/2026-09-01 for the fixed builds. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all Wear OS 14, 16, and 17 devices across your organization and document which are company-managed and which are BYOD. …
