CVE-2026-58854: Elevation of privilege in Google Android

This vulnerability in Google Android arises from type confusion errors causing potential memory corruption in multiple code locations. Exploitation can lead to local elevation of privilege, enabling an attacker with local access to gain higher privileges without needing extra execution rights or user interaction. The affected versions explicitly include Android versions 14, 15, 16, 16-qpr2, and 17. There is no CVSS score provided, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported.

Successful exploitation allows a local attacker to escalate privileges on the affected Android device, potentially gaining unauthorized access or control. No additional execution privileges or user interaction are required, increasing the risk of exploitation in local attack scenarios.
