In ParsedIntentInfo of ParsedIntentInfo.java, there is a possible parcel serialization/deserialization mismatch due to unsafe deserialization. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android-11Android ID: A-191055353

Weakness

The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

AndroidGoogle11.0 (including)11.0 (including)

Potential Mitigations

  • Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
  • An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
