In getQueryBuilderInternal of MediaProvider.java, there is a possible way to retrieve location metadata due to a permissions bypass. This could lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
AnalysisAI
Location metadata disclosure in Android 17's MediaProvider component allows a low-privileged local app to bypass permission enforcement in getQueryBuilderInternal of MediaProvider.java and retrieve GPS coordinates embedded as EXIF metadata in media files without holding the ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION permission. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) in the query builder logic - the authorization gate that should block location-tagged media queries from unpermissioned callers is absent or incorrectly applied. …
