Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 15, 2026
Local privilege escalation in the Android kernel's PMIC inter-process-communication driver (ap_pmic_ipc.c) lets a caller that already holds System execution privileges bypass permission checks via a confused-deputy flaw in ap_pmic_poll_msg_handler and gain kernel-level code execution. Only Android devices that carry the affected PMIC IPC driver — the Google Pixel bulletin of 2026-09-01 is the vendor reference, and the CPE scopes this to google:android — are exposed, and the attacker must already be running with elevated (System) privileges on the device. No public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis, and no EPSS score was supplied, so this reads as a post-compromise escalation primitive rather than a remotely reachable entry point.
