Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions Android-13

Description A side channel information disclosure issue exists in DevicePolicyManager, allowing an attacker to determine whether an app is installed without query permissions. This could lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not required for exploitation.

Recommendations For Android version Android-13, consider restricting access to the DevicePolicyManager until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, review and limit the information that can be disclosed through side channels to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
