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

Description The issue allows an attacker to determine whether an app is installed without requiring query permissions, due to side channel information disclosure in DevicePolicyManager. 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.
