CVE-2020-0065

Local sensitive-data disclosure through unauthorized receiver access

Published May 14, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Improper authorization in MediaTek MTK Android Suite Daemon on Android SoC allows local users to access sensitive data. The receiver component accepts an operation without enforcing the required authorization, but the nonpublic issue record does not identify the request or data source. Reachability requires local privileged access on an affected MediaTek-based Android device, and the reported consequence is limited to sensitive-data disclosure.
