# Android NFC stack: missing permission check allows local code execution

A missing permission check in the Android NFC code path (nfa_t4tnfcee_store_rx_buf in nfa_nfcee_act.cc) can allow code execution. The description says it leads to local privilege escalation with no extra execution privileges and no user interaction.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._
