Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions prior to Android-11

Description The issue is related to a possible permissions bypass in AndroidManifest.xml. This could lead to local escalation of privilege, allowing a non-system app to send a broadcast it shouldn't have permissions to send, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

Recommendations For Android versions prior to Android-11, update to Android-11 or a later version to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of sensitive broadcasts to minimize the risk of exploitation.
