The vulnerability was disclosed in August 2024 and affects Android versions 12.0, 12.1, 13.0, and 14.0. This security flaw stems from a logic error in the code that could potentially allow an escape from SUW (Setup Wizard) (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. The vulnerability requires local access and user interaction for exploitation, but does not require additional execution privileges.
