# Android: missing permission check lets local apps escalate privileges

Several code locations lack a permission check, so a permission can be bypassed. A local attacker can escalate privileges without extra execution rights and without user interaction.

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

## From the sources

In multiple locations, there is a possible permission bypass due to a missing permission check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
