CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/502.html

In onReceive of AppRestrictionsFragment.java, there is a possible escalation of privilege due to unsafe deserialization. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation.

Weakness

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

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Android Google 12.0 (including) 12.0 (including)
Android Google 12.1 (including) 12.1 (including)
Android Google 13.0 (including) 13.0 (including)
Android Google 14.0 (including) 14.0 (including)
Android Google 15.0 (including) 15.0 (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.
