CVE-2021-3720

GPS data disclosure via incorrect widget permissions

Published Nov 12, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Information disclosure in Lenovo Legion Phone Duel before 12.5.231 and Legion Phone Duel 2 before 12.5.632 allows local users to read GPS data. The Time Weather system widget assigns incorrect default permissions to its GPS data, making that data accessible to other installed applications. Exploitation requires another application to run on the device; the published impact is GPS-data disclosure, with no integrity or availability impact.
