Technical details
A permissions bypass vulnerability exists in the 'updateProvidersWhenServiceRemoved' method within 'CredentialManagerService.java' of the Android Framework. The flaw allows an attacker to override settings across different user boundaries on a device. This can be exploited locally without any additional execution privileges or user interaction. Successful exploitation results in unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is addressed in the June 2026 Android Security Bulletin for AOSP versions 16 and 16-qpr2.
