AI Analysis

Impact

In AccountsDb.java a logic error allows the fast reboot protection (FRP) check to be bypassed, enabling a local user to elevate privileges without needing any additional execution privileges or user interaction, an improper access control flaw that can compromise device integrity.

Affected Systems

The security flaw is present in Google Android operating systems; specific version information is not disclosed in the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is < 1% and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating a low but existing likelihood of exploitation. Because no user interaction is required and the escalation is purely local, an attacker can exploit the flaw easily once the logic error is present. The CVSS score of 7.8 classifies the issue as high severity, reflecting the significant risk to device integrity if left unpatched.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Android operating system to a version that contains the fix for the AccountsDb logic error.
  • If an update is not immediately available, configure the device to disable or restrict FRP enforcement through available system settings or ADB commands to mitigate the bypass.
  • Monitor device logs for suspicious privilege escalation activity and isolate or remediate devices that show evidence of exploitation.
