Technical details
The vulnerability exists in ReadDataElement of common.c in the Secure World component, a trusted execution environment (TEE) that handles cryptographic keys, biometric data, and other sensitive operations. An incorrect bounds check allows memory reads outside intended boundaries, resulting in information disclosure. The vulnerability requires local access but does not need elevation of privileges or user interaction for exploitation. An attacker with shell access to the device can trigger the bounds check bypass to read sensitive data from memory. A patch is available as part of the 2026-09-05 security patch level for all supported Google Pixel devices.
