CVE-2025-22426: Elevation of privilege in Google Android
In many functions of ComputerEngine.java, there is a possible way to access URIs across users due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in Google Android involves a logic error in multiple functions within ComputerEngine.java, enabling unauthorized access to URIs across different users. This flaw can be exploited locally to escalate privileges without needing extra execution rights or user interaction. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The affected Android versions include 14, 15, 16, and 16-qpr2. No official patch or remediation guidance has been published by the vendor as of the data provided.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows a local attacker with limited privileges to access URIs belonging to other users, leading to a full elevation of privilege. This compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system components. No user interaction is required, increasing the risk of exploitation in local attack scenarios.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict local access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious local activity related to URI access. Avoid granting unnecessary local privileges to untrusted applications or users.
