CVE-2024-48336Public exploit

Root code execution via unverified GMS package

Published Nov 4, 2024 · Updated Nov 4, 2024

Privilege escalation in Magisk App before canary 27007 allows local users to execute arbitrary code as root through a crafted GMS package. ProviderInstaller.install() creates a code-enabled package context and loads ProviderInstallerImpl from com.google.android.gms without ensuring that package is a system app. Exploitation requires a device without preinstalled GMS or with broken signature verification, but needs no prior privileges or user interaction.
