CVE-2026-0045: Elevation of privilege in Google Android
In bta_jv_rfcomm_connect of bta_jv_act.cc, there is a possible bypass of bonding for a secure connection 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's Bluetooth RFCOMM connection implementation (bta_jv_rfcomm_connect function) involves a logic error that can bypass bonding requirements for secure connections. This flaw enables a local attacker with limited privileges to escalate their privileges without needing user interaction. The issue affects Android versions 14 through 16-qpr2. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No official remediation or patch information is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows a local attacker to escalate privileges on the affected Android device, potentially gaining higher access rights than intended. This could compromise device security by bypassing Bluetooth bonding protections. The impact is rated high due to the potential for full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. No known exploits in the wild have been reported to date.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or temporary mitigation is currently documented, users and administrators should monitor official Google Android security advisories for updates. Until a patch is available, limiting local access to trusted users and devices may reduce risk.
