CVE-2026-57042

In multiple functions of DreamPickerReceiver.kt, there is a possible permission bypass due to a confused deputy. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

What this means for your business

  • It affects Google Android. It matters if your company, or a supplier that handles your data, runs it.
  • An attacker can use it only with access to the machine itself, with an administrator login, and without anyone at your company clicking anything.

What to do

  1. 1Check whether your company or your suppliers run Google Android, and which version. The affected versions are listed further down this page.
  2. 2If you do, apply the vendor's fix. A patch or vendor advisory has been published.
