Local privilege escalation via unvalidated pipe caller
Published May 19, 2026 · Updated May 19, 2026
Local privilege escalation in OPPO O+ Connect 16.2.0 was described as allowing local users to gain privileges through its pipe interface. The pipe interface accepted calls without verifying the caller's identity, allowing lower-privileged code to invoke privileged operations. The withdrawn assessment required low privileges and user interaction; OPPO later rejected the record and removed its affected-version data without naming a replacement.
