| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Android versions 12 and 13
Description
The issue is related to improper input validation in the
createSessionInternal function of PackageInstallerService.java, which could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not required for exploitation. This could allow an attacker to gain access to the database of any application, including WhatsApp, by exploiting the vulnerability. The estimated number of potentially affected devices is not specified, but the issue is known to affect Android versions 12 and 13.Recommendations
For Android versions 12 and 13, consider disabling the
createSessionInternal function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the PackageInstallerService module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the run-as command in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
