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

Description The issue is related to a logic error in the code of WifiDialogActivity.java, which could lead to a limited lockscreen bypass. This might result in local escalation of privilege in wifi settings without requiring additional execution privileges. User interaction is not necessary for exploitation.

Recommendations For Android version Android-13, consider restricting access to wifi settings until a patch is available to prevent potential local escalation of privilege.
