6DescriptionCVE.org
In multiple locations, there is a possible improper encryption key validation due to a logic error in the code. 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 14, 15, and 16 stems from improper encryption key validation caused by a logic error (CWE-347) present across multiple code locations. A low-privileged local attacker can exploit the flawed key verification path to gain full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact over the device without requiring user interaction or elevated starting privileges. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must have local code execution on the target device at low privilege (PR:L), meaning a malicious app or shell-level user session is required. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.8 score accurately reflects the local attack vector (AV:L) and high CIA impact; however, real-world exploitation risk is tempered by multiple converging signals. … 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 Bulletin patches dated 2026-09-01, available at https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/2026/2026-09-01. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, complete a comprehensive inventory of all devices running Android 14, 15, or 16, audit and restrict local account access and physical device access, and enable logging on all local authentication attempts. …
