Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 15, 2026
Local privilege escalation in the Android kernel stems from a use-after-free condition triggered by a race between concurrent operations, allowing an attacker who already holds System-level execution privileges on the device to elevate to a higher (kernel-level) context. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N) and is addressed in Google's September 2026 Android/Pixel security bulletin. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no indication of confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV).

In multiple locations, there is a possible use-after-free due to a race condition. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

What every action level means
SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
Privilege escalation occurs when an attacker leverages flaws in access control mechanisms to gain permissions beyond what they were originally granted.
Race conditions occur when multiple concurrent requests exploit the brief time gap between checking a condition and acting upon it (TOCTOU - Time of Check, Time of Use).
