Local privilege escalation via missing audio authorization
Published May 9, 2023 · Updated Jan 28, 2025
Missing authorization in the Unisoc audio service on Android 10 through 13 allows local users to escalate privileges. The service fails to enforce a required permission before performing an undisclosed audio operation, but Unisoc has not identified the affected entry point or operation. The published vendor vector requires no prior privileges or user interaction and limits the demonstrated consequence to reduced availability; the specific failure mode remains undisclosed.
