CVE-2024-40659

Status: AnalyzedMedium (5.5)—

In getRegistration of RemoteProvisioningService.java, there is a possible way to permanently disable the AndroidKeyStore key generation feature by updating the attestation keys of all installed apps due to improper input validation. This could lead to local denial of service 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).
