CVE-2022-20294

Local account-presence disclosure via missing permission check

Published Aug 11, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Missing authorization in Android 13 Framework Content allows local users to learn whether an account is present on the device. The Content component exposes this account-presence result without performing the required permission check; no narrower public code locus is disclosed. Execution as a local user is required, but no user interaction is needed, and the bounded consequence is disclosure of account presence rather than account contents or control.
