Severity7.8High · CVSS 3.1
Exploitation probability0.16 %higher than 5% of CVEs
Active exploitationNonot in the CISA catalog
Public exploitNot knownno public code found
In hasActivityInVisibleTask of WindowProcessController.java there’s a possible bypass of user interaction requirements due to incorrect handling of top activities in INITIALIZING state. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android-10Android ID: A-138583650
