Trust boundary violation in Google Play services SDK before 18.0.2 allows remote authenticated users to compromise protected data. The play-services-basement signature verifier accepts a debug-signed Google Play services package as trusted on non-GMS devices. Exploitation requires high privileges and user interaction; it can compromise confidentiality and integrity, but the CNA reports no availability impact.
