Severity ?
6.8 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In onCreate of ManagePermissionsActivity.java, there is a possible way to bypass factory reset protections due to a missing permission check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with physical access to a device that's been factory reset with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
