CVE-2023-21230

Status: ModifiedMedium (5.5)—

In onAccessPointChanged of AccessPointPreference.java, there is a possible way for unprivileged apps to receive a broadcast about WiFi access point change and its BSSID or SSID due to a precondition check failure. This could lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
