In multiple locations, there is a possible escalation of privilege due to improper input validation. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
AnalysisAI
Improper input validation in multiple locations of the Android kernel allows a locally installed application to escalate privileges on affected Pixel and Android devices, with no additional execution privileges or user interaction required. The flaw is rated 7.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting a local attacker who already holds low-privileged code execution but can reach high-integrity kernel operations. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to already have low-privileged code execution on the target device - concretely, a malicious or trojanized Android application installed in the normal app sandbox, or an equivalent local context such as an ADB shell - which is exactly what the PR:L metric in CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H denotes. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS vector is internally consistent and moderately severe: local attack vector with low complexity and low privileges (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L), no user interaction, and full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. … 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 | The primary remediation is to apply the September 2026 Android/Pixel security update, which contains the kernel fix for this issue; consult https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/pixel/2026/2026-09-01 for the exact patched build identifiers and the minimum security patch level, and note that the supplied data does not include a standalone fix version string, so the bulletin must be used to confirm the precise build. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
