CVE-2024-27222
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedIn onSkipButtonClick of FaceEnrollFoldPage.java, there is a possible way to access the file the app cannot access due to Intent Redirect GRANT_URI_PERMISSIONS Attack. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceIn FaceEnrollFoldPage.java's onSkipButtonClick handler, the app processes incoming intents and forwards them to other components without stripping URI permissions, allowing an attacker to access content the app has permissions for but shouldn't share. This is an Intent Redirect (GRANT_URI_PERMISSIONS) attack enabling local privilege escalation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Android version is 13.0Check the device or emulator settings under Settings > About Phone > Android version, or run 'getprop ro.build.version.release' via ADBAffected if The Android version shows exactly 13.0 (not 13.0.1 or other versions)
-
Identify the app containing FaceEnrollFoldPage.javaUse a decompiler or APK analysis tool to inspect installed system apps on the Android 13.0 device and search for the class file FaceEnrollFoldPage.class or source file FaceEnrollFoldPage.javaAffected if The vulnerable class exists in any installed application on the device
-
Check if the onSkipButtonClick handler can be triggeredExamine the app's exported activities and intent filters to determine if the FaceEnrollFoldPage component or its entry point is accessible to other apps, or observe intent forwarding behavior when the skip button is interacted withAffected if The vulnerable intent handling code path in onSkipButtonClick can be reached by a local attacker application
The environment is affected only if running Android 13.0 exactly AND an app containing the vulnerable FaceEnrollFoldPage.java component with exploitable intent forwarding is installed and accessible.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataRemove or validate URI permissions on intents before forwarding them to untrusted components; implement explicit intent handling with content URI access stripped when redirecting to third-party or untrusted app components.
