A local, arbitrary code execution vulnerability exists in the SplitCompat.install endpoint in Androids Play Core Library versions prior to 1.7.2. A malicious attacker could create an apk which targets a specific application, and if a victim were to install this apk, the attacker could perform a directory traversal, execute code as the targeted application and access the targeted applications data on the Android device. We recommend all users update Play Core to version 1.7.2 or later.
The product does not preserve permissions or incorrectly preserves permissions when copying, restoring, or sharing objects, which can cause them to have less restrictive permissions than intended.
