Android Framework vulnerability

Android Framework integer overflow vulnerability enabling local privilege escalation and code execution.

Verdict

Today item — known-exploited.

Integer overflow in Android Framework permits local attackers to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. Active exploitation in the wild demonstrates practical threat. Mitigation requires framework patching.

Severity / affected
CVSS 8.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) · Affected: Android, Framework. Confirm exact fixed builds in the vendor advisory.CVSS — CISA-assigned via the ADP container (CVE.org), version 3.1; the CNA left no metrics, so CISA's own score is used ahead of NVD.
CISA-ADP ↗Reported
Weakness (CWE)
Mapped to CWE-190 Integer Overflow — weakness family: Memory safety.CWE assignment from the public NVD record (may be stale); the weakness class drives how the flaw is exploited.

CISA SSVC (triage disposition)
Exploitation: active · Automatable: no · Technical Impact: totalCISA's own stakeholder-specific triage inputs, published in the CVE record (CISA Coordinator role). NOTE: this is CISA's three decision points; the final Act/Attend/Track decision also requires a Mission & Well-being input not published here, so no overall decision is asserted.

Currency of the record
CISA added this to its KEV catalog 1 day after the CVE record was published.KEV lag = CISA-KEV dateAdded − CVE.org datePublished; a floor on how long the known-exploited flaw sat in the public record before the federal catalog listed it. Severity/weakness here is CNA- or CISA-assigned (current at disclosure), independent of NVD's analysis backlog.

Who’s exploiting it?

— attribution turns risk into urgency
Attribution not established

No confirmed (advisory-backed) threat-actor attribution is established for this record. Absence of a named actor is not absence of compromise — see Coverage & confidence.

Why it matters

— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board
1

Front door — unauthenticated access narrative 1

Attacker
I exploit an integer overflow condition in Android Framework processing to trigger unexpected memory behavior.
Business
Compromised device integrity and user data confidentiality at risk from local privilege escalation.
2

Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2

Attacker
I craft malicious input that causes integer wraparound, bypassing bounds checks in framework code.
Business
Attacker gains system-level access, enabling installation of persistent malware or data exfiltration.
3

Lateral reach — past segmentation narrative 3

Attacker
I execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges after integer overflow allows me to escape application sandbox.
Business
Complete device compromise possible, affecting all user applications and sensitive information stored on device.

What to do

— defensible action
  • Remediate per the vendor advisory — confirm the fixed build for your version and verify exposure.1
