AI Analysis

Impact

The serviceClassExists method in Android's InCallController contains a logical error that can be abused to execute arbitrary code with system privileges. This flaw, identified as a CWE‑693 vulnerability, allows an attacker to elevate their privilege level on a device, effectively taking full control of the operating system without the need for additional privileges or user interaction.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Android InCallController component across all Google Android devices that include this module, with no specific version information provided.

Risk and Exploitability

Exploitation requires local access to the device; no remote vector or user interaction is needed. The CVSS score of 7.8 classifies it as a high severity vulnerability; the EPSS score of <1 % indicates a very low but nonzero probability of active exploitation. Because it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, there are no known active exploits, but the high impact would result in complete system compromise if triggered.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Android security patch released by Google as soon as it becomes available.
  • Conduct a security review of the privilege escalation code paths, ensuring that serviceClassExists checks are performed with appropriate authentication and authorization controls.
  • Restrict the use of high‑privilege APIs and services to trusted, system‑signed applications only, enforcing mandatory code signing and permission policies.
