CVE-2024-0044
CVE-2024-0044 allows potential local escalation of privilege due to improper input validation in PackageInstallerService.java's createSessionInternal function. While the CVSS score is 6.7 (Medium), SOCRadar's Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 79, highlighting a near-critical level of risk. This discrepancy indicates that the vulnerability is more urgent than the CVSS score suggests due to real-world factors. The vulnerability allows an attacker to run as any app, potentially leading to unauthorized access and control of sensitive data and system functions. The absence of user interaction requirement for exploitation is particularly dangerous. The "Exploit Available" tag and "In The Wild" tag emphasize the immediate need for patching. Addressing CVE-2024-0044 is crucial to prevent exploitation and maintain system security.
Description:
