Local sensor-data disclosure via permissions bypass
Published Aug 14, 2023 · Updated Oct 9, 2024
Permissions bypass in the System component of Google Android 11 and 13 allows local users to retrieve protected sensor data. Google has not published the affected functions; it states that multiple System locations return sensor data without enforcing permissions. A low-privileged local user can disclose sensor readings without user interaction, but the record reports no data modification or service interruption.
