AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Local logic error requiring pre-existing System privileges gives AV:L/PR:H; no UI needed; I accept vendor C/I/A:H though it is generous for an already-privileged attacker.

In ac_init_one_sswrp of init.c, 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's ac_init_one_sswrp() initialization routine (init.c) allows an attacker who already holds System execution privileges on an affected Android/Pixel device to escalate further by abusing a logic error in the code, with no user interaction required. Because the assessed vector is AV:L/PR:H, this is a post-compromise escalation primitive rather than a remote or unauthenticated entry point - the pre-existing System-level foothold is the primary limiting factor, which sharply narrows realistic exploitation to attackers who have already breached a highly privileged process. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to already possess System execution privileges on the device (PR:H) and local access (AV:L) to reach the ac_init_one_sswrp initialization path in init.c; no user interaction is needed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine but low-priority vulnerability. … 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 fix is vendor-released: apply the Android Security Bulletin for Pixel dated 2026-09-01 (https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/pixel/2026/2026-09-01) and update affected devices to a build carrying the 2026-09-01 or later security patch level - patching is the only action that removes the flawed ac_init_one_sswrp logic, and there is no publicly documented configuration toggle that disables the specific routine. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
