Official description

In onStart of BiometricEnrollIntroduction.java, there is a possible way to determine the device's location due to an unsafe PendingIntent. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation.

The underlying weakness: Improper Export of Android Application Components

The Android application exports a component for use by other applications, but does not properly restrict which applications can launch the component or access the data it contains.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • If they do not need to be shared by other applications, explicitly mark components with android:exported=false in the application manifest.
  • If you only intend to use exported components between related apps under your control, use android:protectionLevel=signature in the xml manifest to restrict access to applications signed by you.
  • Limit Content Provider permissions (read/write) as appropriate.
