AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Local-only vector with no UI; PR:H because the description states System execution privileges are required as a precondition; full C/I/A retained per vendor though the real elevation delta above System is modest.

In multiple locations, there is a possible permission bypass due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
AnalysisAI
Local privilege escalation in the Android kernel lets an attacker who already holds System-level execution privileges bypass a permission check and extend that access further on affected Pixel devices covered by the September 2026 Android Security Bulletin. The flaw is a logic error in permission handling (CWE-693) that requires no user interaction but is gated behind the high precondition of pre-existing System execution context (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 6.7), making it a privilege-boundary bypass chained after an initial compromise rather than a standalone entry point. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to already possess local System execution privileges on an affected Android device (per the description, 'local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed'); it is not remotely reachable and needs no user interaction. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are consistent and point to a genuinely low-priority, locally-scoped issue. … 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 | Vendor patch is available per the Android Security Bulletin dated 2026-09-01 (Pixel) at https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/pixel/2026/2026-09-01; no exact fix version or build identifier was included in the provided data, so apply the current September 2026 security patch level OTA for the device and verify the reported security patch level in Settings > About phone. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
