Local media disclosure via missing permission checks
Published Jan 21, 2025 · Updated Jun 18, 2026
Information disclosure in the Framework component of Android 17 allows local users to access another user's media content. At multiple undisclosed Framework locations, access paths omit the permission check that should enforce media ownership boundaries. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access but no user interaction, and the reported consequence is limited to reading another user's media.
