Vulnerability Data

In updateNotificationChannelFromPrivilegedListener of NotificationManagerService.java, there is a possible cross-user data leak due to a confused deputy. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-16 Security and Privacy Attributes good match

Associating and preserving security attributes such as original source identity prevents the loss of provenance that creates the confused deputy.

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

Enforces access authorizations so externally supplied references cannot reach resources outside the intended sphere.

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement good match

Controls information flow between security domains, blocking resolution of external references to unintended spheres.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Validates information inputs, directly stopping externally controlled names or references from being accepted.

SC-7 Boundary Protection partial match

Monitors and controls boundary communications, limiting the ability of external references to reach protected resources.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.AA-04 mostly match
prevents

Proper conveyance and verification of original identity assertions directly prevents loss of request source when forwarding.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure development practices directly require input validation and reference sanitization that prevent externally-controlled resource references.

DE.CM-09 partial match
prevents

Runtime monitoring of software and data flows can detect anomalous external resource accesses that result from this weakness.

PR.AA-05 partial match
prevents

Enforcing least-privilege authorizations on forwarded requests reduces confused-deputy abuse even if source identity is lost.

PR.IR-01 partial match
prevents

Network segmentation and access controls limit the blast radius when an external reference escapes its intended sphere.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect instances of the weakness but does not prevent it at design or coding time.

A.5.15 Access control partial match
prevents

Access-control rules can limit which upstream identities may cause the product to act on their behalf, reducing confused-deputy risk.

A.5.16 Identity management partial match
prevents

Proper identity management ensures the original requester identity is preserved and validated before the product forwards requests.

A.5.18 Access rights partial match
degrades

Explicit access-rights assignment can restrict the product’s ability to act as an unintended proxy for external actors.

A.8.2 Privileged access rights partial match
degrades

Privileged-access controls limit the rights the product may exercise on behalf of upstream callers, mitigating confused-deputy abuse.

A.8.20 Networks security partial match
degrades

Network-security controls can enforce source validation and prevent the product from blindly proxying traffic to external actors.
