In addPreferencesForType of AccountTypePreferenceLoader.java, there is a possible way to disable apps for other users due to a confused deputy. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

Weakness

The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
