Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to execute arbitrary code.
In WelcomeActivity.java and related files, there is a possible permissions bypass due to a partially provisioned Device Policy Client. This could lead to local escalation of privilege, leaving an Admin app installed with no indication to the user, with User execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android-8.0 Android-8.1 Android-9 Android-10Android ID: A-132261064
