It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-9477 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Google Android. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9477/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9477/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-9477","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9477/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-9477","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5rg2-32x4-8gcx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Android Settings app","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A missing permission check in the Android Settings app allows local attackers to bypass authentication and escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"google_android","cpe":[{"product":"android","vendor":"google"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-294","name":"Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay"}],"description":"In the development options section of the Settings app, there is a possible authentication bypass due to a missing permission check.
