AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions 7.0 through 9

Description A permissions bypass issue exists due to a missing permissions check in the areNotificationsEnabledForPackage function of NotificationManagerService.java. This could lead to local escalation of privilege, with no additional privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

Recommendations For Android versions 7.0 through 9, apply the necessary patch to include a permissions check in the areNotificationsEnabledForPackage function of NotificationManagerService.java. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive features that rely on notification permissions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
