Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions Android-12 through Android-12L

Description In the onCreateContextMenu of NetworkProviderSettings.java, there is a possible way for non-owner users to change WiFi settings due to a missing permission check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with User execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation.

Recommendations For Android versions Android-12 through Android-12L, consider restricting access to the NetworkProviderSettings until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, limit user interaction with WiFi settings to minimize the risk of exploitation.
