AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Local escalation from an already-System context gives AV:L/PR:H/UI:N; full-device compromise on success supports C/I/A:H, though generous given the high starting privilege.
Primary rating from Vendor (Google_Devices).

5DescriptionCVE.org
In multiple locations, there is a possible escalation of privilege 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 affects Google Pixel devices and is addressed by the September 2026 Pixel security bulletin; an attacker who already holds System-level execution privileges on the device can exploit a logic error in the code to gain further elevated access. The flaw is a logic error rather than a memory-safety bug, requires no user interaction, and is not remotely reachable - the CVSS vector (AV:L/PR:H/UI:N) confirms it is only usable as a secondary escalation step after an initial high-privilege local compromise. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to already possess local System execution privileges on the device (PR:H, AV:L) - the flaw is a privilege-escalation logic error reachable only from that context, not a remote or unprivileged entry point. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuinely low real-world priority despite its 'Medium' 6.7 CVSS score. … 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-released patch: apply the September 2026 Pixel security bulletin update (https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/pixel/2026/2026-09-01), which is the authoritative fix path for the Android kernel on affected Pixel devices; exact fix build identifiers are not enumerated in the available data and should be read from the bulletin's build table. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
