The vulnerability was disclosed in March 2023 and involves a permission bypass due to a missing permission check in the getAvailabilityStatus function. This security flaw affects Android 13 operating system and its associated components (Android Security Bulletin).

The vulnerability exists in the getAvailabilityStatus function of several Transcode Permission Controllers.
