A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

Description

A logic error in multiple functions of MediaCarouselController.kt may cause media to appear after it has been disabled. This flaw can lead to local information disclosure without requiring additional execution privileges or user interaction.

Impact

The vulnerability allows local information disclosure, meaning an attacker with local access could view media content that should have been disabled. No additional privileges or user interaction are necessary, which lowers the barrier to exploitation but confines impact to local users.

Summary

CVE-2026-49912 describes a vulnerability in MediaCarouselController.kt where a logic error allows media content to be displayed even after it has been disabled. This issue can result in local information disclosure. Exploitation does not require elevated privileges or user interaction, indicating the flaw is due to improper state management in the code.
