CVE-2026-0010: Elevation of privilege in Google Android
In onTransact of IDrmManagerService.cpp, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. 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 involves an out-of-bounds write in the onTransact method of the IDrmManagerService.cpp component in Google Android. The root cause is a missing bounds check, which can be exploited locally to escalate privileges without needing prior execution privileges or user interaction. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.4, indicating high severity with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The affected versions explicitly include Android 14, 15, and 16. No patch or remediation information is currently provided, and there are no known exploits in the wild.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the affected Android devices, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. No user interaction or additional privileges are required for exploitation, increasing the risk on vulnerable devices.
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 updates from Google regarding patches for Android versions 14, 15, and 16.
